[The Giblets of Jesus]

After killing the beggar, the "shady man" in the corner of the inn was gonna give me a quest.
But when I followed him I get finished combat dialog and it says the beggar was dead.

I'm assuming the beggar was part of some quest?

It is, but I don't think I got as far as programming the quest bit yet:P

Hemmingway, here's the latest build ready for testing;

The only password I've done so far is QtPAMtYt, it'll put you in town with some gold and a dead begear

'Nice shot' wispered the man behind you.
You turn around, but he has disappeared.

[Yzooo]

I'm trying to do something similar to this, I'm far too unexperienced though... stuff in this game of yours is something I could only dream of being able to do. Lol.

That'll be the options that aren't finished yet

It was either that, or the program ending

I'm trying to do something similar to this, I'm far too unexperienced though... stuff in this game of yours is something I could only dream of being able to do. Lol.

Like what?

And if you like I could help you do those things, it's really not that hard

Code: Select all

#include "includes.h"
using namespace std;

#define NEWLINE '\n'
#define Y 'Y'

void profession()
{
   string pPlayerProfession;
   cout << "Character Profession: ";
   getline (cin,pPlayerProfession);
}

void charactermenu()
{
   string pPlayerName;
   char yn;
   cout << "Character name: ";
   getline (cin,pPlayerName);
   cout << NEWLINE << "You wrote: " << pPlayerName << NEWLINE << "Is this correct? Y/N" << endl;
   cin >> yn;
   if (yn == Y)
   {
      profession();
   }
   else
   {
      charactermenu();
   }
   
}

void mainmenu1()
{
   int choice;
   cout << NEWLINE << "=========" << NEWLINE << "Main Menu" << NEWLINE << "=========" << NEWLINE;
   cout << "\nChoose an option.\n\n<1>New Game\n<2>Load Game\n<3>Instructions\n<4>Credits\n<5>Quit" << endl;
   cin >> choice;
   if (choice == 1)
   {
      charactermenu();
   }
   else
   {
      if (choice == 2)
      {
         profession();
      }
   }
}

int main()
{
   cout << "=============" << NEWLINE << "Adventureland" << NEWLINE << "=============" << endl;
   mainmenu1();
   charactermenu();
   return 0;
}

Can you find what I'm doing wrong? Whenever I choose 1 on main menu on my game it loads the end of the charactermenu ( the if statement) and whenever I choose 2 it shows the cout but then pops back to "Character name:", im so confused the two functions arn't really connected...

also content of the includes.h :

Code: Select all

#include "iostream.h"
#include <string>

Well, dont you understand your own code? Go by it line by line and you'll see the problem. I could be more specific but tbh ive no idea what your problem is.

I have, I was just wondering if you saw something I didn't see...

[The Giblets of Jesus]

What code is that?

I presumed it would be Visual Basic but obviously it isn't

[Yzooo]

Visual C++ lol

[joe_rogers_11155]

...8 years ago

[vcool]

I should Python up something like this at some point.

Meaning in the next 10 years.

Just if anyone wants to try the one I'm working on, only main menu so far. Here's a link http://www.mediafire.com/?3t24yaa54auwcww .

Since im beginner c++ this is just for fun lol.

Looks a bit like a copy of giblets though, lol.

Update to my RPG

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?0scqrig291e95t6

Added quite a bit to play around with

EDIT:

Just saw Yazoo's post

It plays...
Well it doesn't play so far so not much can really be said. But I will say that a little formatting would can in handy, I.E. putting line breaks down and separating the outputs a bit more.

Also, what's the gameplay going to be like in yours? (curiousface)

Ye I noticed a lot of bugs with cluttering and stuff, getting it down though.

Haven't thought of the gameplay really... will probably make it a bit like mud/mush, you know with the "go north" stuff.

Oh and yeah, a bit updated fixed the cluttering (I think): http://www.mediafire.com/?cjlhp7s6bd1l283

Edit:
Almost forgot, nice that ur updating gonna try it out noaw.

Edit2: Lol at the running away with the stolen ale
