return from the visuals after the output

[daryledevs]

Hi all. I hope you give me some little attention and time, i need someone to rely on to develop my program. My project is periodic table and i am working it on Turbo c++ as a compiler this is the required from my prof. So guys please help me. the function should be:

1.visual (graphics)
2.press any key to continue
3.search an atomic number
4.output of the certain number of element
5.press (key) to return
6.back to 1
7.exit


for the code. i could post it if you ask to. Please help. Thank you!

[jonnin]

yes, post your code and give us an idea of what is not working with it.

@daryledevs

After getting the periodic table working, I changed main to

int main()
{
	display();
	
	gotoxy(20,25);
	_getch(); // For MS Visual C++. Remove the underscore for Turbo C++
	return 0;
}

The program then was doing pretty much as your above list. I would use the arrow keys to put the cursor on an element, pressed 'Enter' and the element info would be in a frame. I press a key, and the periodic table would be re-printed. Pressing 'ESC' ended the program.

@whitenite1, i have found an periodic table like that and there where i got the idea as my design. Now i am figuring how to do that. What should i do sir? or i say where do i place display in my code? (below). Sir sorry for too much asking.

@daryledevs

Sorry. Pretty much everything I was doing to help, was based on a completely different program, than the one your actually making. You pointed us to one program that had a frame described, a display function, etc., but the program you're actually making has none of them. Plus, I'm not using Turbo C++ and therefore cannot actually run your program as written.

Good luck then, as I'm not of any help.

Well, I can help a bit on the above cove, on line 375
It should be while (p != 'o' && p != 'O'); with && and not ||

[daryledevs]

@whitenite1,
well it's okay and i know you did your best and that's enough. Well sir, Thank you for trying to helping me and godbless! :D

[daryledevs]

Hi sir @jonnin and sir @whitenite and also @thomson! Thank you very much for trying to help to develop my program. Now, i can program it well! It works now i also make back from the start just like what i wanted to using while loops. Very proud! My no sleep for 3 days are worth it!! Thank you!

[jonnin]

ok, that looks like a good start.

what does not work yet, besides the graphics? You should always do the gui/graphics last, it saves rework if you change something important when working on other areas.

[daryledevs]

@jonnin,

it works well now, i also used cleardevice(); instead clrsclr(); because it gives me white screen which is not totally good. Well, thanks for the tip, i am gonna do first the function. Well anw, @whitenite1, i totally understand now about the display() and frame() haha, too slow to understand, sorry! well @jonnin, sir i have a problem well i am working it out to be my design for my introduction. Would you help me? this is the code:

so my problem here is that on the last of group 8 which is the 8 is keeps repeating like "888....." and dunno how to fix it. any idea sir?

#include<graphics.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<dos.h>

void welcome_screen()
{
clrscr();
for(int x=50;x>=20;x--)
{
delay(160);
gotoxy(x,12);
cputs("  P R O J E C T   ");
gotoxy(x,14);
cputs("  D E V E L O P E D  B Y  :  ");
gotoxy(x,16);
cputs("G R O U P 8");
 
}
gotoxy(x,24);
cputs("Press Any Key To Continue....");
getch();

}

int main()
{
 clrscr();
 welcome_screen();
 int gdriver=DETECT,gmode,errorcode;
 initgraph(&gdriver,&gmode,"c:\\turboc3\\bgi");

 welcome_screen();


}
return 0;
}

(I just copy it from the resource and changed after the developed by)
ctto

[jonnin]

I do not really understand.
It looks to me like you need that clrscr() inside the for loop, so it would clear and redraw in a sort of animation.

as you have it, it just draws over what you had, and since it is moving backwards, the old 8 is still there. say I want to write 'abc' at location 10, then 9, then 8... etc...

you get
        abc
       abcc
      abccc

if you cleared the screen each time, you get

        abc
       abc
      abc

you are writing a fixed length over what is already there, but it does not delete the rest of the line, it just leaves it.

[daryledevs]

Hi sir @jonnin,

It's fine now Haha!! Clrscr(); didn't work. It just gives me a blankscr and then poof you can it now but the purpose, didn't happen. But what i do is, i add space after the 8 and its okay now. Thank you!
