minesweeper

I need help for this project, It was possible for me to make it work but I need some help with the very last function called:

* void clearField(int A[][NCOLS], int B[][NCOLS], int x, int y){

and I also need to know how to add sound (maybe .mp3s, .wavs or something similar not computer beeps) and color (color only if possible to add it to C++ console), Thanks in advance!

this is what I have so far (hope you understand it, i see that this website removes indentation):

I would like to help but the issue is vague (what is the function supposed to do? What is it doing wrong? ). Also, since your code contains no comments I would have to study the entire program to understand how any portion of it works. Make it easier on us and you will get more responses.

I am attracted to your problem because I have written a minesweeper game myself (for windows, not the console) and because it is not just another of the endlessly repetitive CS101 homework problems which appear on this site.

My two cents: As far as I know, you can't use audio files (such as mp3, ogg, etc.) without some sort of audio library.
Duthomhas (13206)
Get rid of #include <stdafx.h> and make sure to #include <windows.h> .
Also, your main function on line 23 should read

  int main( int argc, char* argv[] )

(but you really only need int main()).

Line 147 should read { if(A[x][y] == 9).
Line 169 should read for(; i < NROWS; i++) and likewise,
line 172 should read for(; j < NCOLS; j++).

When the game is won, it doesn't end. For example:
Enter coordinate
7 7

1  1  0  0  0  0  0  0

9  2  1  0  0  0  1  1

2  9  1  0  0  0  1  9

1  1  1  0  0  0  1  1

0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0

0  0  0  0  1  2  2  1

0  0  0  0  1  9  9  1

0  0  0  0  1  2  2  1





Super Sweeping!
Enter coordinate
This gets repeated over and over. (It printed ten times for me, but I haven't looked to see if that number has any importance.)


Minesweeper typically lets the user do one of two things to a cell: mark it as (potentially) mined, or reveal it. Your game only lets you reveal.


Reading just the numbers is a little rough on the player, and the gameboard prints badly when the "-1" mines are displayed. You can use a lookup table to print something nicer to look at:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
 
const char* CellImages = "@012345678~";
void DrawCellImage( int CellValue ) {
  if ((CellValue >= -1) && (CellValue <= 9))
    cout << CellImages[ CellValue ];
  else
    cout << '?';
}


Since you are on Windows, I suggest you take a look over at
http://www.google.com/search?btnI=1&q=msdn+SetConsoleTextAttribute
(click on the Console Functions on the left side for all the console functions). These will allow you to do things like position the cursor, set colors, get single keypresses, etc.


Finally, MS has an audio library as part of the system. One of these ought to help:
http://www.google.com/search?btnI=1&q=msdn+sndPlaySound
http://www.google.com/search?btnI=1&q=msdn+PlaySound
If you use it, make sure to link with the Microsoft Multimedia library (link to libwinmm[/b]).


Hope this helps.

I did not understand about this website and code suggested to color font in console:

SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle();

http://www.google.com/search?btnI=1&q=msdn+SetConsoleTextAttribute

how exactly do I use it and how it is possible to color only 1 character for example, my idea is to color each instance of the game ( I refer to numbers = 9 as a starting field one color, 0 as empty field another color, -1 as mines another color and 1 2 3 and 4 others colors) so the player can actually see what is going on in the game.
Can someone tell me how and where to place the code to achieve this?
THANKS for your great help!! I'm working on each of your suggestions!!
