Game Program. Not getting what i expected from all the work :(

[biplav17]

sorry if this is not the right place. I am new.

This is Game called Mastermind. I have the description of the game on my progrAM. If you copy the code it completly works.

It just does not work :( .

Please help me. I will put your name and the website on the credits

Thanks in advance. Below is the code :)

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>

using namespace std;
// ***********************************Functions Delcarations




// Function 1 for the heading. It will just display the text.
void my_heading_displayer()


{
cout << "***********************************Mastermind********************************* " << endl;
cout << " " << endl;
cout << " Easy enough to understand " << endl;
cout << " " << endl;
cout << " I will give you the pattern of 4 colours. " << endl;
cout << " " << endl;
cout << " You have guess them in correct order in 10 tries " << endl;
cout << " " << endl;
cout << " The colours are Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Orange, Gray " << endl;
cout << " " << endl;
cout << " Guess in the format RYGB " << endl;
cout << " " << endl;
cout << " " << endl;

}




// Functions 2 This Function will input the 4 guesses in form of an array and check if they are right

void guess_inputer(char guesser[], int n)
{
cout << "Enter your guess" << endl;
cout << " " << endl;
cin >> guesser[0] >> guesser[1] >> guesser[2] >> guesser[3] >> guesser[4];

// Looping it 4 times because we need to input 4 characters


for (int m = 0; m < 4; m++)
{
if (guesser[m] > 91) // lower case level
guesser[m] = guesser[m] - 32;
}


}

// Function 3 is how many right at position and how many right but at wrong spot.
// Two arrays. One is my loving guesser from before and another is right which che kts right spots.
// It is bool because we need to check the true and false for the colors and positions.

bool right_guesses_displayer(char guesser[], char check_right[])
{
int rightcolour=0;
int completeright=0;
int count;
bool variable1[4];
bool variable2[4];
bool variable3=false;


for (int m=0; m < 4 ; m++) // I want to access the values of my array from 0 to 1 using this loop.
{
variable1 [m]= false;
variable2 [m] =false;

}
// My loop which determines the colors in exact position
for (int m = 0; m < 4; m++)
{
if (guesser[m] == check_right[m])
{
rightcolour++;
variable1[m] = true;
}
}

// Following nested loops determine the colors right but in wrong place

for (int m=0 ; m < 4; m++)
{
if (!variable1[m])
{
for (int k = 0; k < 4; k++)
{
if (!variable1[k] && m != k)
{
if ((guesser[m] == check_right[k]) && !variable2[k])
{
variable3 = true;
count = k;
}
}
}
}

}

bump!!

[JokerDan]

Is the problem you are having that no matter what, the second guess is always a 'Correct' answer, despite it being any order or even random letters? Or are there any other problems you want to point out?

[biplav17]

I thiink that is the problem. And also may be the problem is about converting integers to colors.

[biplav17]

bump!. Still does not work

[Disch]

"Does not work" isn't very descriptive.

What doesn't work?

[biplav17]

OK so the thing is that everytime I enter my guess it give me a upside down smily face and couts coorect answer.

I dont know where the mistake is. If I did i could solve it myself.
