Im really trying to do this c++ but...

[chubbywubba]

Im really trying to do this c++ stuff and I need someone to really help me. My yahoo is eyestolethis. If someone could please come on yahoo and message me and try to help me that would be great. I have the code already written for the program I created, 3D Minesweeper, I would post it all on here but that really will not help me I need someone I can talk to one on one to do me a favor because my comp is stupid.

Just post your code here and we might be able to help you (use code tags, indentation, and don't use void main ). The mods here don't like it when you post your email address and get it off-site, so don't be suprised if they snip your Yahoo address...

Thanks.

this is what i need help with, thereason why i didnt wanna post it is cause i dont want no one stealing my game code and plus as you see its really long, and i mean long. but im at home and i cant drive back to school and i wanted to know if this code works. like are you able to play the game, does some of it come out in color, etc. my comp is stupid and never lets me download stuff to my comp, i have tried downloading many c++ compiliers and it never downloads. so pretty much i just need someone to tell me it works or not. if not if they can help me with the errors, by either telling me or if they fix them but still tell me so i know what i did wrong or show me at least. im trying my hardest to learn this stuff and my advisor through me in a class where normal people would have takin two other c++ courses before this one. i took a java class but she never told this one she put me in was c++ so i pretty much started off with nothing.

Sorry, doesn't compile:

//Mutators
     void setActive (); // Gets console ready to draw minesweeper grid
     char draw(); // Draws the grid for minesweeper

Room *** array;

What are your trying to do here? Create a pointer-to-etc to a room called array? Or are you trying to make an array of pointers-to-etc?

And there's a few typo's in here, marked in red:

for (int r=0; r<Row; r++)   //row is undeclared
void Dynamic3DArray:: setActive (intx, int y, int z) //a space 
for (int r=0; r<ROW; r++) { //line 214 redefined

There are also some general error's with your classes, but since this is not my specialty (i like c not ++ :) ) maybe someone else could inform you.

I don't have enough time to find them all (after this there are still 62..). I strongly suggest that you download a compiler, it's makes debugging a whole lot easier. Which compilers have you allready tried?

thereason why i didnt wanna post it is cause i dont want no one stealing my game code

No comment. :rolleyes:

Inside the definition of Room:

char draw; // Draws the grid for minesweeper

You later go on to define Room::draw(). Perhaps you forgot parentheses in the class definition?

Room& Room (const Room& node) {
     this->visited = node.visited;
     this->active = node.active;
     return *this;
}

Your code is trying to access private members from a foreign class. If you need to, create a function in Room that reads and returns the values of visited and active . Also, why are you using this to modify variables inside its local scope? To modify Room::visited inside Room::Room(), simply use something like:

visited = node.isVisited(); // used isVisited() because visited is private

Little typo:

class Dynamic3DArray {
 
protected:
         int ROW;
     int COL;
     int DEPTH;
     Room *** array;
 

public;

Another error:

void Dynamic3DArray::destroy () {
     for (int r=0; r<Row; r++) { // previously declared as int ROW

A large number of errors that follow are because of the way you declared array in Dynamic3DArray. Niek explained this, so refer to his post on how to fix this.

After reading through your entire code, I have a question: why in the world do you include windows.h ? It's a console app, so there's no reason to have this line in your code. In fact, (correct me if I'm wrong) I didn't even see a need for conio.h .

Hope this helps

I put the pointer there to make an array of pointers. What is the correct way to do it?

My guess is he has declared windows.h for the colour bit? And conio.h to catch input without needing the user to hit return.

Of course that throws out the chance of his code being portable and all. :lol:

I would think you would only need to declare it as Room **array; . I've kind of forgotten what exactly you needed this array for, because you could just declare the number of elements immeditately, or if it has to be dynamic, you could use vectors/linked list.

[chubbywubba]

I did that and it has seemed to fix those errors, thank you. But there one error i getting now like 15 times in my program. this is the error

error C2659: '=' : overloaded function as left operand

Thats for this line this->visited= false; .
That little piece of code is within the Room Class part where all of that same error is. And it is all the this-> (active or visited) = (something) all have that same error. Its lines 73, 74, 79, 80, etc.

There's no need to use this-> . Since these functions are inside Room , they are in scope. To access variables that are in the same object as the function, you can simply use:

visited=false;

I see no reason why you continue to prefix these variables with this-> . Remove all references of this-> in front of local variables, and the errors should go away.

Hope this helps

[chubbywubba]

The error still comes up the same even when I take out the "this->" :sad:

You're totally using the wrong syntax when trying to overload the = operator in Room :

// prototype in class
Room &operator= (const Room& node); // Operator

// main function
Room& Room (const Room& node) {
     this->visited = node.visited;
     this->active = node.active;
     return *this;
}

First, why are you returning a pointer? You simply need to pass the object back, not a pointer. In the implementation, you aren't referencing the class object! Here is how an overloaded operator function should look like:

MyClass MyClass::operator =(MyClass &argument1) {
    // assign/do math here...

    return argument1;
}

And it's prototype:

class MyClass {
   public:
   // ...
   MyClass operator =(MyClass &argument1);
};

Hope this helps
