change:
#include <iostream.h>
to:
#include <iostream>

add:
using namespace std;
after the #includes.

jayme · Nov 27th, 2005, 2:04 PM

Whats the difference between adding using namespace std; and using <iostream> instead of <iostream.h>? I always thought it was just wether you prefer it or not..

Polyphemus_ · Nov 27th, 2005, 2:07 PM

#include <iostream.h> is considered deprecated

...
    char mName[15];
...
...
    cout << "First of all, you must name your character: ";
    cin >> mName;

What happens if I name my character, "Thomas Jefferson"? BANG!!!! Investigate other forms of "cin", such as "cin.get()", or an istream or string "getline." Since you're using C++, you should seriously consider using the string class, rather than C strings, too. Your code will be less susceptible to failure and easier to manipulate.

I dont know wether i want to allow multiple names.. but i have noticed that when trying before and i will probably use a string later on just for more experience.

Im currently working on the fighting system, im enjoying it as usual.. except ive been working on it for about 2 hours straight so now i need a little break, might as well let people see it, not like anyone will since its probably 7:30 for most people and they are mostly sleeping but here it is anyways, tell me what you think!

Ok, so ive been working on the fighting system for a while now and decided that it needs to be clean.. so i re-did it and now it looks like this

. I'm pleased with the outcome so far but there is still (Fortunately) a lot to complete till you can compile this and actually get dirty for as much as the console version will be worth.

EDIT: I also forgot to mention names can now have spaces in them, for example: John Doe, Alexander Graham Bell, Fruity tooty..ect

I've decided to pause work on the actual game base, and work on a secondary component of the game... which is the monsters database, which will look something like this

(Toggle Plain Text)

class monster {
      int experience;
      int health;
      int damage;
      char name;
      public:
             void set_health(int hp) { health = hp; }
             int get_health() { return health; }
             void set_experience(int exp) { experience = exp; }
             int get_experience() { return experience; }
             void set_damage(int dmg) { damage = dmg; }
             int get_damage() { return damage; }
};

class frog : public monster {
      string name;
      public:
             void set_name(string mon) { name = mon; }
             string get_name() { return name; }       
             void show();
};


void frog::show()
{
     cout << get_name() << "\n";
     cout << get_damage() << "\n";
     cout << get_experience() << "\n";
     cout << get_health() << "\n";
}

I will be building on that so that it includes all the monsters and all the details of the monsters.

Heres the source again, as you can see the fight system has been taken out since it will be redone to include the new flexible monster database.

Have you tried compiling this? you have

#include <Monsters.h>

shouldnt this be "Monsters.h" instead?

<include> is used for system includes, ones that are in the include path. "include" will look in the directory where your program is

someone correct me if i'm wrong

BANG!!!! Investigate other forms of "cin", such as "cin.get()", or an istream or string "getline." Since you're using C++, you should seriously consider using the string class, rather than C strings, too. Your code will be less susceptible to failure and easier to manipulate. __________________ Abstraction doesn't make it impossible to write bad code; it makes it possible to write superior code.
