16 Years Ago

I am currently working on a mini project for my class. the project is designing a game called etch n sketch. you first etch out a map then quit the game after youre done. then sketch the etch you just created. the problem im having is the scoring system.

score is calculated by the formula ((t+h-m)/t) * 100. t = the number of x,y positions that were etched. h = the number of hits when you trace over the etch correctly. m = is the number of positions that the player has moved the cursor to and that do not belong to the pattern.

I also had to use the curses library. the code is a little but lengthy, but the scoring functions are located at lines 322 and 356.

my problem right now is i cant get to calculate m correctly. heres the code i wrote so far. i know my code is cluttered and could be cleaned up but right now i just want the program to work.

thank you for any help.

At least learn to read the forum rules and how to post code before puking a 1000 lines of unformatted code on the board.

my problem right now is i cant get to calculate m correctly. heres the code i wrote so far. i know my code is cluttered and could be cleaned up but right now i just want the program to work.

Please explain how m is to be computed. It looks like what's happening is that if the player get an x or a y coordinate correct, the m++ does not execute. If you mean that either he gets both x and y correct for a point, and anything else is a miss, you don't need a second condition, just the else.

thats what i tried, just have an else. but the thing that happens is that m starts calculating at really fast rate. by like thousands

What is the point of the for loop at 322? x and y do not change inside it, so either the xstore and ystore arrays will get filled up with t elements, or m will be incremented t times.

To what purpose?
