Make your very own game using Visual C++ Express Edition (or in any PL)

I’m sure you all have heard of “Guess the number” game. Well who hasn’t. It’s practically in every programming book of every programming languages by every programming authors. The reason perhaphs is you can actually make billions of games from it. All you need to do is make up some weird stories with number guessing involved in there then you are good to go. Here are some examples:

1. Mind Reader Game

Here's the code:

view plainprint?

1. #pragma endregion  
2.   //declare two variables. intrandom will handle the generated random numbers  
3.   //intcounter will handle the number of incorrect guesses

5.    int intcounter;

10.      intrandom=randgen->Next(1,31);  
11.      //if the date inputted by the user is lesser than the generated number  
12.      if (int::Parse(this->datetextBox->Text)<intrandom) {="" display="" this="" message="" this-="">statuslabel->Text="Sorry. Your guess is wrong. Perhaps you need some crystal ball?";

39.

Say "Hello" to Blender and Flash

I have not written any programming guide in a while now coz I’m sort of in a “hiatus” or something. But I’ll post some as soon as my dopamine level rises up.

Meanwhile, if you are interested in things that move i.e. computer graphics, some of the great computer graphic softwares out there are Blender 3D and Adobe Flash.

Here are some of the basic animations that you can do with flash. These are made by my former students, I captured them using KRUTS and edited using PD11. Enjoy!



Here are some of the basic blender animations that you can do with blender. These are made by my former apprentices, you’ll see their names at the end of the movie. Anyways, enjoy!
