For those who loves games: (beginners)
1. Tic Tac Toe program.
2. how about writing a c++ game that asks the user to guess a number between 1 and a 100. If you guessed correctly, it will say you win. If your too high or too low it will also let you know. i've done this program before, so i can help you with it. If you try your best, we'll help you along.

it's extremely interesting, but how does a self-taught beginner like me place oneself in such a great project?

thanx for the link and the advice, i hope to be able to use it some day if i learn hard.

those competitions look really interesting especially with the big prizes and tee-shirts lol.

but some tasks that have helped me:

develop a program that uses a randomly generated number to select 1 of 3(or more)
functions to show the user. (simple)

develop a program to convert currency X to currency Y and visa versa (beginner)

hey all, how are you all doing??

i would like to share with you guys some of the inlabs that i have done in my university in the past.

(question 1)

The statement is below of the question. it is quite an easy program, but just one misplaced variable can cause headaches, to many people, like what happened to me an my friends. Though i only asked my lab instructor only after failing to figure out what the problem was in the program.



use functions. you dont need to use any pointers or any advanced level of c++. this was supposed to be a basic program to teach us how to use functions.


(question 2)

i havent tried this question as it was given to the other section from mine, but never the less i copied the file ad brought it hoping to try the problem when i get the time.
This is also a simple program to make.


thats all for now, i hope to bring more new stuff and share more programs.

NOTE: By programming these skills in this game, it help you understanding and learning more complex way of using condition and also improve your random number skill.

Item System:

Invest your own items and weapons for each class:

• Warrior Items: Weapon, Shield and Armor. (Armor and Shield reduce the income damage).

Battle System:

Since it is a simple text-base roleplaying game, the battle system will be based on turn-base system. Player and monster will take turn attack each other. Each turn, the game will ask player to choose normal attack, using skill to attack, or using potion. In some case, such as the target was stunned or have been pushed away, the player has extra turns to attack the target. When the monster die, the player will earn money.

Here's a toughy.

Write the Snaker program, using either a JFrame, GraphicsProgram or a JApplet (any GUI of your choice really).

Your snaker object will start off as one circle. That circle represents a head.

The body grows by encountering "snake-food" on the screen. When the head runs over the snake-food, the snake-food is consumed and a body-part is appended to the end of the snaker.

The snaker is moved by the keyboard, and can only move in the up, down, left and right directions. It has a static speed and the body parts always follow the same path as the one before it (except for the head). The snaker starts off without motion, then gains moment (permanently) after the first key is pressed.

In addition, there is no such thing as snap-movement. The snaker cannot move down if it is currently moving up, left if it is moving right... etc. This should be self-explanatory.

Also, the body cannot move immediately. In order to specify a new direction, the snaker must first clear the radius (or length) of the body-part before it in order to move forward.

Whatever part of the Snaker appears off of the screen on one side of the pane must appear on the other side.

Points are calculated when the Snaker consumes food and as time goes on.

The game is over if the Snaker runs into itself.

Your Snaker must consist of a LinkedList, and a Thread. Also implement a timer that tracks the time elapsed in the game.

Your Snaker must also implement the Serializable or Externalizable interfaces to save the current locations of the body parts, the direction of the head, and the score if the player decides to exit. Your Snaker GUI will need to implement a WindowListener that listens for things such as loss of focus (where the game should pause) and the window close operation (where the window will automatically save the game to a random object-file (that is not already named in the current directory) then exit once it is called).

Edit: Wow I'm very sorry! I thought this was for Java and not C++ O_O

Ok instead of a JFrame it can be a Win32 project. >_>

BTW there is another way to handle this whole thing: compile all your code (even your C-style code) using a C++ compiler. That pretty much eliminates the need to mix C and C++, plus it will cause you to be more careful (and possibly —hopefully!— discover some bugs) in your C-style code. The down-side is that you'll need to update your C-style code in certain ways, basically because the C++ compiler is more careful/picky than your C compiler. The point is that the effort required to clean up your C-style code may be less than the effort required to mix C and C++, and as a bonus you get cleaned up C-style code. Obviously you don't have much of a choice if you're not able to alter your C-style code
