2D map gaming Player V. Computer

[CodecSmash49]

I am working on a game kind of like chess but with only 1 piece per a player.

In the beginning they pick there stats(movement, HP, damage, and range of weapons). 10 pts to put where ever they like ranging from 1-6 per a stat

When hit hp is reduced by damage done. So i supose a for loop would be good for that as well

Weapons is how much +damage the weapons do

it is a 10 x 10 grid that i will use ascii. Yet I dont really get how you draw with ascii. Porbably an array i believe.

My game system im using will be based off of x, y. 0,0 top left 10,10 bottom right.

The M.I.M.E's (mechines in main engagement) as i call them can only shoot or move in the direction they are facing. So i was doing to use:

Q- rotate counter-clockwise
W- move forward
E- rotate clockwise

I was thinking maybe using a switch statement like

cout << "Enter a movemement. You have " << move << "moves left." <<endl;
cin >> choice;
switch(choice)
{
case 1://rotate counter-clockwise

case 2:// move forward

case 3: //rotate clockwise

default: // loop back around
}

Any action counts as a move. So i will use a for loop to acount of that part. for( int i= 0; i > move; i++)


What i do not understand is how do you move the MIME's across the field =/

as for weapons i was going to find a way to check the x,y cord of the other robot.
However i wanted to use two different weapons, a laser and a grenade.
Laser shoots straight based off of range 3-4 damage
and grenade is range -1 and does a 3x3 kill grid dealing 1-2 damage


At first the robot moves randomly around until he is "Within range" i was going to make his range based off his firing range of range+1 x range.


Extras!!!!:

These are things i really would kill to do but is not something i need.

LANDMINES!: place a mine at x,y when player is in the 4x4 box of the mine it goes boom dealing 1 damage

Saving the game file: Not a clue how to do this

Pillars/Block on the ground: i would guess a random Num generator 2 place the blocks maybe 2-4 then randoms 0-10,0-10.




Any help or a direction to a website about basic 2D game design would be much love. This is huge jump in what we have been doing in class which is basic user input so i am completely lost :(

What I would do is to just write everything down, and take it one step at a time. First, generate and draw the field, then introduce the human player. Get some input, and move the player around. Introduce weapons, and make sure you can shoot at stationary things correctly. The last thing you should do is to introduce the AI, because it will be difficult, unless you just want it to move around randomly and shoot randomly.

Remember, one step at a time.

good luck.

P.S. If you have any specific questions, you are welcome to ask.

P.P.S. Searching for "game development tutorials" in google yields quite a few results that seem good.

[CodecSmash49]

Every google search i tried yeilded bad results. Most were about tic-tac-toe. Non dealt with using ascii to draw and board and play on it from user input.

:( could you offer a link or a book that would b good for this topic. I already tried 1 book but again it was about user input and displaying data nothing about a board playing field

[vmpstr]

I don't know any good references off the top of my head. This shouldn't be a difficult problem. To display a field (that is stored in an array), you just need two loops. At each iteration, you can check if that position corresponds with the player or the AI. If it does, then instead of drawing the field, you draw the symbol representing the player (or the AI). Likewise for various laser/grenades/mines, except you will want to keep those in an array (or some other container) and associate a "lifetime" with it. For instance, say a grenade explodes after 2 turns, then it has a lifetime of two, and whenever it reaches 0 it explodes. Mines have an infinite lifetime, until someone steps of them.

So, just think it through in this manner and start coding one step at a time: draw the field first, draw the characters, make the characters move, etc. When you get further in and start getting stuck, you can ask more questions here.

Again, any kind of reference isn't going to be tailored to your game. It's just going to be about _some_ game. But you learn from these references, nevertheless.

good luck

I've been banging my head against a wall but i've made progress!
I'm stuck at these points:
1) making the robot move at random when the player is in range engage them.
2) checking to see if the weapons hit(grenade/laser) I'm guessing checking player positon with the X,Y for grenade and X or Y for laser.
3)Displaying the ascii grid
4) Player = ascii 193- North 194-South 195- East 180- West. How do i display so they rotate as the player changes direct? I was guessing a IF loop.
5) same for the Computer as number 4
6)Randoming the stats for the robot so they = 10 and do not go over, but can go under.
7) Laser i was going to use '.' for the laser or ascii #220. How can i display so i shoots across the map
8)Grenade- was going to use ascii 177 to show the area the grenade hit in.

*not needed but i would also like 2 try and drop random walls*

Any help or other problems you see i will love you for LIFE!

Your code doesn't compile: I see a lot of functions that go like this:

void func(); { ... }
 

Leave out that semi colon.

kind regards,

i've managed to get most my functions done. I'm not to sure on how to display the grid array so i can refresh the screen each time a robot moves.
