Hi Guys!!:nice: I need to put a variable so that two players are able to play the following game, but I am unaware how to do this. Is someone able to assit me? PHP: #include <iostream>#include <string>#include <vector>#include <ctime>#include <fstream>using namespace std;void info (){ ;}void get_word (string& word){ ifstream read ("words.txt"); vector <string> word_list; read >> word; while (word != "$") //at the end of the file there is a '$' to stop reading when it gets there!! :~) { word_list.push_back (word); read >> word; } srand (time (0) ); int i = rand() % word_list.size(); word = word_list [i];}void check_for_win (vector <char> secret_word, vector <char> myword, bool& win){ //check if the played has found the word for (int i = 0; i < myword.size(); i++) { if (secret_word [i] == myword [i]) { win = true; } else { win = false; break; } }}void process (vector <char>& secret_word, vector <char> myword, int& tries_left){ typedef vector <char> ::size_type vec_siz; vec_siz word_size = myword.size(); cout << "\n" << "->Enter a letter: "; char letter; cin >> letter; bool exists = false; bool already_exists = false; for (int i = 0; i < word_size; i++) //is the letter in the word? { if (letter == myword [i]) { if (secret_word [i] == letter) { already_exists = true; } exists = true; //the letter exists in the word secret_word [i] = letter; } } if (already_exists == true) { cout << " The letter '" << letter << "' already exists! "; } else { if (exists == true) { cout << " Nice! '" << letter << "' is in the word! "; } else { cout << " Sorry. '" << letter << "' is not in the word.. "; } tries_left --; }}void print (const vector <char> secret_word) /*const before 'vector' increases velocity*/{ // prints secret_word on the screen typedef vector <char> ::size_type vec_siz; vec_siz size = secret_word.size(); for (int i = 0; i != size; i++) { cout << secret_word [i]; }}int main(){ string word; info (); get_word (word); typedef string::size_type str_siz; str_siz word_size = word.size(); //how many letters the word has vector <char> myword; //storage for the letters for (int i = 0; i != word_size; i++) //add the word's letters to the vector { myword.push_back (word[i]); } vector <char> secret_word; //create a vector to store the secret word, e.g. s***p //set secret_word's data for (int i = 0; i < word_size; i++) { secret_word.push_back ('*'); } secret_word [0] = myword [0]; secret_word [word_size - 1] = myword [word_size - 1]; //send the first and the second letter of 'myword' to 'secret word' //replace words same as the first and the last, e.g. d*dd* [daddy] for (int i = 0; i < word_size; i++) { if (myword [i] == myword [0]) // same as the first letter { secret_word [i] = myword [0]; } if (word [i] == myword [word_size - 1]) // same as the last letter { secret_word [i] = myword [word_size - 1]; } } // THE 'MAIN LOOP' int tries_left; if (word_size == 3) { tries_left = 2; } else if ( (word_size > 3) && (word_size <= 5) ) { tries_left = 6; } else if ( (word_size >=5) && (word_size < 10) ) { tries_left = int (word_size * 1.4); } cout << "..::HangMan::.. [by Minas Mina]" << "\n\n["; print (secret_word); cout << "]" << "\n"; bool win = false; while ( (win == false) && (tries_left > 0) ) { process (secret_word, myword, tries_left); //get input and check if exists in the word check_for_win (secret_word, myword, win); //has the player won? here we check it cout << "Tries left:" << tries_left << ", ["; print (secret_word); cout << "]\n"; } if (win == true) { cout << "\n" << "Congratulations, you win!! "; } else { cout << "\n" << "You lose..Try harder next time.. "; } system ("PAUSE"); return 0;}
You need to do a lot more than "put a variable", whatever that means. Firstly, hangman is a one player game by definition. How exactly do you want it to be two player? Will there be two men to hang? Or do you want alternate players to enter letters? Is there a winner or is it a collaborative game? If a winner, how will that winner be determined? Then once you've determined how it's going to work, you'll need to add code to implement those changes. If it's as simple as two players working together to hang one man with no overall winner then you'll probably need to do little more than alternate between Code: cout << "\n" << "->Player 1 Enter a letter: "; and Code: cout << "\n" << "->Player 2 Enter a letter: ";
