if u good with c++

[blackfalcon]

so like i was bored and decided to make a little prog that would run any game you typed in

Spoiler!

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "Hello!\n" << endl;
    cout<<"What would you like to play?  (type cmds for a list of commands)" <<endl;
    cout<< "\n\n\n";
    cout<< "What you wanna do?  ";
    string game;
    cin>> game;
    if (game == "freecell" || "Freecell")
    {
        system("START FREECELL");
    }
    if (game == "spider" || "Spider")
    {
    system("START SPIDER");
    }

    if (game== "pinball" || "Pinball")
    {
        system("START PINBALL");
    }
    if (game == "cmds")
    {
        cout<< "List of games : " <<endl;
        cout<< "\n\n";
        cout << "Spider Solitaire \n";
        cout << "Freecell \n";
        cout << "Pinball \n";
    }

    return 0;
} 

problem is, when i type in a game, it runs all the games instead of just the one i typed =/
anybody have an idea on how to fix?

Code: Select all

if (game == "freecell" || "Freecell")

Always evaluates to true. Same with the rest.

Can c++ Be learned on the internet...
How hard is it to learn?
I Has Intrest in this.

[Stress]

To run the program smoother, use an "else" after each "if". Also, make sure your conditions aren't always true

[CloudStrider]

Grim, C++ is one of the harder languages, I suggest learning something like VB.

Just go on youtube and search tutorials, good way to self learn.

So How many are there?

[CloudStrider]

I'm not sure the exact number of tutorials.

There will be stuff like, "How to program a progress bar" or "Hello World Display".

VB is simple like this.

If cmdDisplay.Value = 1 Then
lblHello.Caption = "Hello World"
Else
lblHello.Caption = "Press Display"

That is a very simple program which displays text, it uses a command button and a label.

hmm... How did you guys learn this stuff?...
Proper lessons by a teacher or over the internet?

[CrimsonNuker]

Yeah VB is very simple, spend about 2 weeks~ with it and you'll have an idea of what programing feels like. I have yet to learn c++ and java >_>

Java is so much fun youll want to gouge out your eyes with toothpicks. Its not hard, i just found it really boring and totally useless.

what's c++?

[BlueWave]

C++ is a type of programming language, used to create games or just any types of software- Microsoft Visual Basic or Microsoft Visual Basic C++.

My post should be stickied

Code: Select all

if (game == "freecell" || "Freecell")

Always evaluates to true. Same with the rest.

yea, the || separates 2 checking conditions, so in your case first the program checks if game (the input) is the same as "freecell", but then it also compares "Freecell" with nothing, which would always be true.

it should be:

Code: Select all

if (game == "freecell" || game == "Freecell")

want to learn c++?

may i suggest C++ for you++


i just love that title

google is ur best friend

[ThiefzV2]

and who in their right mind would use this program?

[crazyskwrls]

well he said it was for fun...
