DEC Stuff Registered 07/07/2003 Points 1348	10th May, 2004 at 20:36:31 - For my C++ class I need an idea of a program to make. I wanted to make a boggle game, but it's too easy I guess. I was just going to make a grid generate random letters with a timer. However, like I said, too easy. I wasn't going to make it find words or anything. Does anyone have any ideas? http://www.decstuff.net

Kris Possibly Insane Registered 17/05/2002 Points 2017	11th May, 2004 at 12:59:40 - and how would you do that in a DOS console?

Muz Registered 14/02/2002 Points 6499	11th May, 2004 at 21:39:47 - I have little idea how C++ works, but how bout one of those text games? I remember programming a little text game by copying stuff from a book into BASIC when I was 5. Neat little game where you have to shoot at a ship and try not to get destroyed when it shoots at you. Several thousand lines of code, though :/. Disclaimer: Any sarcasm in my posts will not be mentioned as that would ruin the purpose. It is assumed that the reader is intelligent enough to tell the difference between what is sarcasm and what is not.
DEC Stuff Registered 07/07/2003 Points 1348	12th May, 2004 at 19:08:15 - I just don't know what to do! I wanted to do boggle, but I don't know if its advanced enough, cause I want to keep it simple. http://www.decstuff.net
vortex2 Registered 27/05/2002 Points 1406	13th May, 2004 at 08:59:28 - Here is a bit of advice. Pick something, start. Make SOMETHING first, then worry about what you WANT to do. This way if you never get what you want to do done, you havent done nothing for your project . OH and I recommend making a puzzle game.... Puzzle games dont have to have fancy scrolling, they dont need alot of collision code or complex game mechanics . If you are looking at text based stuff, I would recommend making hmmmm tic tac toe? cant go wrong with it . you could have a grid like this: ____ ____ ____ \| \| \| \| \| x \| o \| x \| \|____\|____\|____\| \| \| \| \| \| \| o \| x \| \|____\|____\|____\| \| \| \| \| \| \| o \| \| \|____\|____\|____\| A bit of insanity with every bite!

vortex2 Registered 27/05/2002 Points 1406	13th May, 2004 at 21:35:37 - yea I made it before school and the spaces got all messed up by TDC oops. well anyway tictactoe would be a good challange . A bit of insanity with every bite!

Kris Possibly Insane Registered 17/05/2002 Points 2017	4th June, 2004 at 07:02:03 - Sorry, I meant to upload the DOS version, but when I uploaded the allegro version I accidentally overwrote it. It's cellular automata (Game of life). here's the right one: http://kris.acsv.net/dos_gol.exe edit: thanks for giving the link though Edited by the Author.
