Well, I was bored and decided to make up a quick game in C++ and at the same time try to use all the new shit I need to learn like classes and such and incorporate it into the program. But one of the simplest errors is occuring. Everytime it hits a certain cin.getline it will skip it and continue without pausing for input. I've tried cin.ignore, cin.clear, blah blah but they all don't work for me... o_O
Anyway code for people to look at... It's probably not good but oh well.
class words {
public:
words();
void getWord();
void greeting();
void initFS();
void fileWrite();
private:
int i;
int a;
int time;
int numChars;
char word[102];
char name[30];
string strungWord;
};
void words::getWord() {
cout << "Please enter the word you would like to use: ";
while(a==1) {
// This is the part being skipped ----> cin.getline(word, 101);
for(i=1;i<3;i++) {
if(word[i] == '\0') {
cout << "That word is too short. Please type a longer one.\n";
a = 1;
break;
}
a = 0;
}
}
}
void words::initFS() {
a = 0;
cout << "Would you like to play in Fullscreen mode? (y/n)\n";
while(a==0) {
cin >> strungWord;
if(strungWord == "y") {
a = 1;
}
else if(strungWord == "n") {
a = 2;
}
else cout << "\"y\" or \"n\" was not entered. Please enter \"y\" or \"n\".\n";
}
if(a==1) {
keybd_event(VK_MENU, 0x38, 0, 0);
keybd_event(VK_RETURN, 0x1c, 0, 0);
keybd_event(VK_RETURN, 0x1c, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
keybd_event(VK_MENU, 0x38, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
}
cin.clear();
system("CLS");
}
void words::greeting() {
printf("Welcome to the \"Speed Typing\" game.\n"
"In this game you try to type a word as quickly as possible under a certain time limit.\n"
"Press any key when you are ready to begin.\n");
system("PAUSE");
system("CLS");
}
void words::fileWrite() {
cout << "Please enter your name for the scores record: ";
cin.clear();
cin.ignore(29, '\n');
cin.getline(name,29);
ofstream writeto("Scores Record.txt", ios::app);
if(a==1) {
writeto << endl << name << " beat level " << (i-1) << " with the word \"" << word << "\".";
}
else if(a==0) {
writeto << endl << name << " beat level " << (i) << " with the word \"" << word << "\".";
}
system("PAUSE");
}
words::words() {
time = 10;
initFS();
greeting();
getWord();
for(i=1;i<11;i++) {
cout <<"Prepare for level " << i << "..." << endl;
system("PAUSE");
cout << endl << "Go! Type in your word in less than " << time << " seconds!\n";
clock_t start_time;
start_time = clock();
cin >> strungWord;
if((clock() - start_time) > time * CLOCKS_PER_SEC) {
cout <<"Sorry, you didn't type the word quickly enough. You lose.\n";
a = 1;
fileWrite();
i = 11;
break;
}
else if(strungWord != word) {
cout << "Sorry, you didn't type the word correctly. You lose.\n";
a = 1;
fileWrite();
i = 11;
break;
}
else if(strungWord == word && (clock() - start_time) < time * CLOCKS_PER_SEC && i < 10) {
cout << "Congratulations, you progress to the next level.\n";
system("PAUSE");
system("CLS");
}
else if(strungWord == word && (clock() - start_time) < time * CLOCKS_PER_SEC && i == 10) {
cout << "Congratulations!! You've won the game by beating all levels!\n";
for(numChars=0;numChars<101;numChars++) {
if(word[numChars] == '\0') {
break;
}
}
cout << "Your word was " << numChars << " characters long!\n";
a = 0;
fileWrite();
i = 11;
break;
}
time--;
}
}
Naturally I expected to have my code made fun of. I'm only just scraping the surface of C++.
And I only commented out when I typed it into /prog/, so that people may see the area being skipped. I guess I could have commented out the line before it and left the actual skipping part without commenting it out, but I thought the smart people of /prog/ would see it and figure they needed to take out the "// This is the part being skipped ---->".

Now you have two problems.

I'm going to write a /dev/prog device (read it as ``DPD prog device'') that you can pipe to to create new threads in /prog/.
