Bubbling…

Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m now presenting the most precious invention of mankind ever!!!
ok, don’t take it seriously, I finally managed to gather all the code into one file ( it’s now 4 files! ). Now you can take a look and see what I did so far. If you have any questions or you don’t understand some parts, just comment and I’ll get to you

here’s the link to download a .txt file
change the extension to .cpp and use it

I finally know how to use classes yay, the only trick is that you should put it BEFORE int main() which I didn’t know and I used to put it AFTER int main(). The result? error: no “Something something1;” has not type! where Something is a class and something1 is an object. Anyway, I did it and therefore, I rewrote every single line of autopoker.cpp and also created a new header file player.h for it. Today, however, I was talking to my friend on the phone and he accidentally brought up a good point. He said that I can make a card class and instantiate ( create ) 52 objects of that class. Just think about it, FIFTY TWO OBJECTS!!! O_O that’s a lot and takes a lot of time! I might do that though, but first I try to fix the current one!

It’s going well, I’m working on the first bits of it. Some starting points such as just shuffling and dealing a deck of cards.
This is what I’ve got so far:


//put random numbers in slots

#include iostream
#include ctime
#include cstdlib
#include iomanip
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
const int totalCards = 52;
const int deckRows = 4;
const int deckColumns = 13;
int deck[ deckRows ][ deckColumns ] = { 0 };
char *suite[] = { “Hearts”, “Clubs”, “Diamonds”, “Spades” };
char *face[] = { “Ace”, “Two”, “Three”, “Four”, “Five”, “Six”, “Seven”, “Eight”, “Nine”, “Ten”, “Jack”, “Queen”, “King” };
srand( time( 0 ) );

for( int card = 1; card <= totalCards; card++ ) {
int randrow = rand() % deckRows;
int randcolumn = rand() % deckColumns;

while( deck[randrow][randcolumn] != 0 ) {
randrow = rand() % 4;
randcolumn = rand() % 13;
}

deck[randrow][randcolumn] = card;
}

/*
//print the deck
for( int i = 0; i < deckRows; i++ ) {
for( int j = 0; j < deckColumns; j++ ) {
cout << setw( 5 ) << deck[ i ][ j ] << ” “;
}
cout << endl;
}

//check for wrong numbers
for( int x = 0; x < deckRows; x++ ) {
for( int y = 0; y 52 || deck[ x ][ y ] < 1 ) {
cout << “INVALID NUMBER DETECTED IN LOCATION: ” << x << “, ” << y << endl;
}
}
}
*/

for( int card = 1; card < totalCards; card++ ) {
for( int i = 0; i < deckRows; i++ ) {
for( int j = 0; j < deckColumns; j++ ) {
if( deck[ i ][ j ] == card ) {
cout << face[ j ] << ” of ” << suite[ i ] << endl;
}
}
}
}

}
again, add the indentation yourself!

It essentially shuffles a deck of cards and deals all 52 cards and says what they are in order!   If you don’t understand part of the code, just let me know by writing a comment!

I did it finally! a very easy thing but quite annoying because I didn’t know my mistake and I still don’t know it. Here is the code I was “working on” for the last 2 days:

//put random numbers in slots

//check for wrong numbers
for( int x = 0; x < arrayRows; x++ ) {
for( int y = 0; y 52 || array[ x ][ y ] < 1 ) {
cout << "INVALID NUMBER DETECTED IN LOCATION: " << x << ", " << y << endl;
}
}
}
}

Anyway, this doesn’t have any mistakes but it uses a very very very poor algorithm of “retry if it’s taken.” Well, I know that, but I will try to work on a better algorithm for it! Or maybe make it into a bigger thing! Programming is fun, but up to when you don’t have any mistakes. Leave comments if you are thinking of a better algorithm
And by the way, I finished my math exam last Thursday, it was easy as always! Looking forward to next semester when I have Physics 12 must be better than Physics 11 I had this semester!
Also, indent this code yourself, this blog doesn’t show indentation! and put “” around cstdlib, iomanip, ctime, and iostream!
Don’t forget to comment!
