good work

what functions did you use to make the player move?

[IonicFox2nd]

@JakobRobert00 I create a 2D character array and place the player and enemies on the array.

I use the functions kbhit() and getch() and capture user input and change the position of the characters on the array.  You can research these functions on MSDN.

Let me know if you have any more questions

@IonicFox2nd hey im working on a small program that fighting a mob but whit numbers not like urs whit animations, its a real time just like urs but i cant figure out how the function whit kbhit() and getch() should look, can u give me some hints if possible? tnx, oh and btw thats a sick game no matter how lame it looks. WELL DONE KEEP UP!

[IonicFox2nd]

@iiperento this assigns the pressed key's value to a variable of type char.

char keypress;

if(kbhit())

{ keypress = getch(); if(keypress == '[key]'){//do function}

}

[rainbowcrak]

Can you make a tutorial on how to make this? Is this pure c++ or did you download addtional libaires like SDL ?

[IonicFox2nd]

Sword play was created in Dev C++, and doesn't require any additional

downloads, just links to -lwinmm & -lgdi32.

Look up the following functions on MSDN

I use PlaySound() & mciSendString() to play audio files (not in video)

I use GetCursorPos(), GetClientRect & ClientToScreen() for GUI Interface

I use SetConsoleCursorPosition() to place the designs and characters

I use SetConsoleTextAttribute() for color schemes

I hope this helps

do you used multithreading? i mean becouse you can move and the creatures at the same time

[wolakec]

@ChuckleluckMe2 He used kbhit() which checks for user input

[iiperento]

@IonicFox2nd hmm i manage to do it in a different way:

input = getch()

while (!game+ove)

if (kbhit())

{ input = getch();

}

[ChuckleluckMe2]

How'd you make the game run without input? I saw you used getch() but I don't see how you made the game continue to run without user input.

[JakobRobert00]

@IonicFox2nd thanks i will look up these functions
