C++ Console Lesson 35: A Simple Role-Playing Game

[kidharris55]

this looks hard as shit but it really isnt. when you are building a game in your own idea your gonna keep on typing and typing untill you get what you want. thats why this looks so difficult.

[1DarkMasK1]

@kidharris55

Well it depends on a game of course.

Quiz is super easy

Text game is easy

Rpg text game is easy medium

etc...

In console you cant really do aynthing else besides text games even if you make a snake game it is still text game with the illusion its not.

Besides I prefer console over GUI.

GUI is only good for visual fags (troll much?) much like current kids who dont like 8bit games because they dont have crysis 2 graphics :D

[MrBlu3HoMi3]

were can i download c++ and if i make a game in blender and i can't make the character to do what i want can i program him to do what i want him to do in c++?

[hslman14]

my dream is to make a game like gta4

[0ChrisMackle0]

is this sdl or what

[kong288]

It's console. SDL is a graphics lib.

[stumblinbear]

I've been trying and trying...but everytime i try to change the size of the map , vista closes it to protect my computer.

[Sparta8oy]

i got the code in codeblocks but when i press run. it says this has not been built yet. HELP!!

[KillerAragon]

@Sparta8oy I also use CodeBlocks, it randomly gets compiles errors, just delete all of your previous projects, (save the code in a word processor if you wish and make a new one, after you make it, compile it and run the hello World already there and the delete everything and start coding!

[taigi100]

This isnt a really hard program but it takes a while to make it (it has many lines)

[FFvsMidi]

omg i fckn want to learn this!!! learning php right now when i finished that i will directly start learnin this wtf

[Sparta8oy]

what program do you use to write c++?

[Masteryxx]

@Sparta8oy You can use CodeBlocks

[topgunfan1]

@Sparta8oy I am just a beginer but I know that many prof. use it also:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2010

It has a compiler, debugger, and everything you need.

[4Got10Shadow]

change --muiHitPoints to ++muiHitPoints youlll become invinsible.

[4Got10Shadow]

jjust because the title says role playing game that it got 60k views LOLLL

[TurnipsMAPPING]

@4Got10Shadow Take a look at his other videos they pretty much all have 10K + views... Don't think people just chose this 1 because it said role playing game. I am sure he has some followers.

[4Got10Shadow]

@TurnipsMAPPING

I didnt tell he has no followers obviously he had many, but check the other videos compare to this one. My point here is I believe that almost all people want's to learn how to program just to make a game.

[presbarkeep]

My brain. It just exploded.

[PurexOvvnage]

@TheJezzez it is an ampersand, it means that mqHero is a reference to the thing that is passed in as a paramater, basically what that means is if the original value changes mqHero will change with it

[TommyUB]

This looks very hard,,interesting,,,but that is quite the list for such a simple program, I must feed off of your knowledge. Nice video.

[PurexOvvnage]

this game is pretty crappy, because the monsters have equal attributes to the hero making it impossible to kill a monster

[PurexOvvnage]

I don't get how you determine if the monster is hit what do the 2 rolls stand for?

[VolcardoReviewer]

i want to play this game

[MrVirtualCoder]

i have a basic knowledge in visual basic and a little C# but this is just plain hard.

[harmenqwe]

I want to make a MOD from  ´´teeworlds´´ and I must lurn C++ befor I can make it! but I don´t I realy don´t understand C++ -.-´

[MovieMaxie]

what is: Error error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup and Error fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals ??

[narutofan9999]

@MovieMaxie

It means you forgot to link to a library or you have a wrong definition of main.

[MegaLazygamer]

I hope that some of the C++ haters out there will see this and know that it is a very capable language.

[narutofan9999]

@MegaLazygamer

I don't know anyone stupid enough to think it's not.

[zwerty007]

Are you ever getting into games that don't use command prompt?

[Krahltan]

great video. I added experience and when you level up your attk, defence and accuracy increase too lol. might try to make the monsters move by themselves some other time too.

[KillingBanana]

i want this in german -.-

[Hackerx72]

These tuts look nice! *Subbed for future studies

[juncraul]

WTF why WASZ why not WASD this is clasic foo all the games with movement :P

[DsketchAudio]

can anyone KINDLY answer me what is C++ ? or explain

[nevain247]

@DsketchAudio C++ is a programming language used mostly for the pc but may be mac idk. Its used to make some apps and some current games.

[eatcomics]

@nevain247 c++ is on every OS xD lots of OSes are written in C...

[nevain247]

@eatcomics o i honestly didnt know that thnx for the info

[eatcomics]

@nevain247 no problem :D

[Antharios1]

if someone made such long scipts he should upload it

[LastRellik]

lol the happy music in the intro

[chrisall76]

and this,was the brith of rpg maker. LOL

[Bl4ckH4ck32]

hey can u reply me...whats the code for lik

case 'w':

{cout<<"hello";

break;

}

if u know what i mean?

[Greenadee]

@Bl4ckH4ck32 First of all its

case 'w': cout << "Hello"; break;

No need for the { }

Hope that helps, I can't give the full answer here as the Youtube comment box is too small, but PM me if you have any problems.

[Greenadee]

@Greenadee youtube fucks up whitespace...

[DepetrifyFilms]

Are we allowed to be naked while watching this?

[yo3443]

@DepetrifyFilms lol

[Exbigg]

@DepetrifyFilms lol

[pashtonkhan]

i cant find other lessons

[108SAURFANG801]

is there any way to display the special ANSI characters in a console? i type them in the compiler but they always come up as question marks

[iep4b]

@108SAURFANG801 u can

only u'll have to make special declarations for them

surely this topic is covered extensively in many forums just search for it

[Razputin53]

UGH this was the first video i found of this series. LOL im lost

[rodrigorules]

good program for short amount of lines, A+ video

[ukhewitt]

can you attach this to/ attach a program onto this program so that you can make it 3d, colour ect.

[DANNYSPIKEYBOI911]

Are you asking if you can import DirectX or openGL? If so yes you can, and can apply it to whatever you want to make graphically. ( Though learning directX pays off in the end with all the extras it contains, openGL is certainly easier to learn and master to me ).

[ukhewitt]

thanx, i was just wondering because i know how to use both of them

[eviltaiyouai]

does c++ work kind of like Bat files ? I've done almost the same thing useing batch

[GoodCoffeeInc]

@eviltaiyouai Writing batch files is not programming, DOS is not a programming language, it's a scripting language. Scripting doesn't even come close to programming (I'm not trying to be condescending, we all had to start somewhere).

[dkstick]

Does "console lesson" mean that u can play it on Xbox or something?

[alizta]

@dkstick No, it means it runs in the Console, which is where you run text commands in Windows.

It is what many people wrongly call DOS, even though it has nothing to do with DOS in NT based Windows versions.

[crass1789]

yep

[GoodCoffeeInc]

@dkstick No.

[DANNYSPIKEYBOI911]

Lol either that or maybe the pc's console command prompt eh?

[TheMTNDewAddict]

this is a tutorial not a debate it is pointless to cuss at each other to try and prove a point. if you think that you can do better, do it, dont just say it, make a video on it

[PCGamingHQ]

Most games with movement use the arrow keys OR W A S D NOT W A S Z

[xoaxdotnet]

@PCGamingHQ You're right and I will use that in the future. In the meantime, I'll trust that you can make the conversion. ;-)

[Razputin53]

ummm.... how far can you actually take C++? (NOOB ALERT) Can you make graphics up to par with Halo3?

[flargo]

Yes. But you've got a lot to learn. Once you're reasonably good at C++ you've got to learn about data structures and algorithms. If you're new to programming altogether for now your goal should be a 'guess the number' game.

[Razputin53]

So... how much of a barrier can an engine be? I hear that engines are only limited by the skill of the person using them.

[spookymcfuzzy]

@flargo How do you recommend we learn these algorithms and data stuctures?

[0121ryanh117]

@spookymcfuzzy By taking a computer science course or googling c++ data structures.

[0121ryanh117]

@Razputin53 Ever heard of PC games? GTAIV, etc?

These games are most likely programmed in C++, probably using directX or openGL. Infact, certainly uing those libs. What im saying is that in C++, you can create as ood graphics as the library your using can render them.

[1337NoobLord]

You can make ANYTHING in C++

[thoosejakob149]

a teleporter to the future world?

[yo3443]

@1337NoobLord yeah

[eHaxor]

@1337NoobLord

wow, even lunch?

[axeshredstorm69]

@1337NoobLord

Amen. I wrote a roguelike RPG.

[chrisrox62]

How can i play the game..

[Nickolsshady12345]

@1337NoobLord Except for chuck norris.

[stepsinit]

@1337NoobLord Liar, i haven't made a cent. LOL

[michysatchi]

@1337NoobLord you cant pruduce sexy women in c++ :)

[SuperEpicSounds]

@michysatchi Yes, you can.

[0ChrisMackle0]

@1337NoobLord

You cant make java game in c++ :O

[MrMaddict]

@1337NoobLord EVERYTHING, JUST EVERYTHING!!!

[ModernXpert]

@1337NoobLord No shit ^_^

[zdrgdr]

@1337NoobLord make my dad stop drinking

[chadchad125]

@Razputin53 yes, games up to even god of war was made using c/c++

[baggens55]

@xoaxdotnet i havent watched all of the videos yet but how do you transfer it to a ui instead of a command window?

[xoaxdotnet]

@baggens55 That's what our Win32, MFC and OpenGL lessons are for. This series on the console just focuses on the C++ language and uses the console window. The others are for GUI libraries.

[nickrohn93]

@xoaxdotnet I would love a SDL tutorial series. However i think that skipping over pre-written code would be a bit too quick :P. I have a feeling more people would be able to follow it then opengl

[LamsasukeMedia]

@xoaxdotnet Hey don't you work like at microsoft coz the amount of tutorials you do for c++ is astonishing, I hate you so much XD i do c++ too so easy huh?

[andy74123]

@xoaxdotnet no way am i playing this with WASZ

[StephenWebb1980]

@PCGamingHQ Well, figure out how to add options to configure the keys as you see fit. You shouldn't be so critical - got a problem, find a solution.

[ImTheBatchMan]

@PCGamingHQ Have you played CoD on the CPU? I know that at least #4 uses WASD.

[PaMu1337]

Apparently you're the retard since this is really c++

[rhillner]

Are you so retarded that you cannot differentiate C++ and Visual Basic? A young child could do that.

[GoodCoffeeInc]

@rhillner It's true.

[SilverFirsMichael]

this is c++ visual basic doesnt have curly braces

DUUHHHHHH!!!!!

[MrJezez]

can I make a game with just writing???

not any graphics program just writing in example visual c++ ? plz answer

[iMurph01]

Well, take a look at OpenGL. If you really want rich 3d graphics, i think you need a graphics program like blender or lightwave or something.

[dacypher22]

What do you mean "just writing"? If you are interested in not having graphics, you could check out a MUD codebase. They can be very complex and exciting without needing any art assets

[Thomastancheekun]

... 4000 pages of code? i can write over 30 hour-long seminars with cout statements with that amount of code to spare.

[RayRay5491]

Tutorials32, Don't be mean. And also, people also call it "writing code" Noob..

And also.. 4000? If you were to make a HUGE game, sure maybe, but not likely. Get your facts strait, okay?

[Tutorials32]

oh dear.... u guys are stupid.. it was AN OVER EXADGERATION! sorry if i ddnt make that clear... wow... hahah! wow this is funny.. and yea i was talking about API... programming a game with graphics completely made from API.... would be pretty long... thats all i said.. u guys are so retarted..... ... sorry for picking on u ray ray... its... well... i just clicked reply on a comment involving u.. this isnt realllllly twords u

[StonedReality]

Why make a name of Tutorials if that's supposedly what you do? Because you can't spell for shit.

[IDOG321]

retarded*

didn't*

exaggeration*

Oh, and, your use of grammar (let alone English) is REPULSIVE!

[Tutorials32]

u think i wana waste my time with grammer while im talkin to losers who like u who masterbate to animie character!z! HA A Z... A Z instead of an s.... HA..no but really im sick of you guys trying to keep this comment alive....its pretty funny.... fuck off CHOOBs IM NOT COMMENTing AGAIN!

[PiratesVersusNinjas]

he is talking about text based Input/Output game in a console window not writing in natrual language to do some coding...

[mayhempk1]

Tutorials32, I lol'd at your stupidity.

[Tutorials32]

lol... wel i thought me ment to programmaticlly create the graphics for a c++ game.. that would take foR EVER!

[mayhempk1]

You're a fucking idiot, you don't even know what making a game is about. Just leave this video and never comment on it again.

[nifected]

yes but it will consist of characters

[acerookie1]

no u need an API

[deadlymassacre1]

of course why not?

[TinklerStar]

Why there is no use of any graphics. It might give this game a better and more fun look.

BTW, great tutorial. I´ve learnt a lot.

[neverfearchrisishere]

The Game is a simple version of a classic.

Search for Rogue game

or Rogue-like game

There great games using only Letters for graphics.

[JakJak478]

You need a graphics library and that is ALOT more work.

[rhillner]

Because the tutorial isn't about graphics APIs.

[hexkwondo]

Awesome! I love these tutorials!

[CPlusPlusTut]

they cant because magicmace3 pushed them off a cliff!

[wasitrealy]

whoa thats quite a lot lines of code lol i know like only 50 lines of it lol you must have loads of video memory cos mine is full how do i clean it?

[magicmace3]

4) i eat 3 and push 2 and 1 off a cliff

ty for clip

[jj12345678999]

3rd:) thx for this clip

[invincibob8]

2nd pwns 1st and awesome video, thanks!
