Tarot Card Program Design

[winterx0]

Hello! I am working on a final project for my intermediate C++ class. For the project concepts to be utilized we are supposed to implement the following:

Opening screen with a description of the application and instructions
Menu for the user to choose options
At least 4 classes total
Inheritance (minimum 2 derived classes)
Polymorphism (Overloading and overriding)
Encapsulation
File input and output processing
Multi-Threading
Exception handling
Abstraction

I used an example of a Black Jack game in one of my books to get started
for the file I/O I created and saved a document as an input file with information pertaining to the tarot cards to display.
I intend on allowing the user to save readings to an output file.
I was thinking of somehow trying to figure out how to implement multithreading within the cards being drawn but I need to clean up the mess I have made first. So far only the opening screen runs correctly.
Your help is sincerely greatly appreciated. I'm hoping I can get this completed in time.

This is what my CPP source file looks like right now after deleting the messes

#include "tarot.h"

int main()

startSim start;
start.getInput();

case 'Q': run = false; break;
}
} while (run);


*/


return 0;
}

//overloading operator so cards can be sent to cout
ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, const Card& aCard)
{
const string RANKS[] = { "0", "ACE", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "PAGE", "KNIGHT", "QUEEN", "KING" };

"TOWER", "STAR", "MOON", "SUN", "JUDGEMENT", "WORLD" };

if (aCard.m_ifu)

Well, for starters:

PLEASE learn to use code tags, they make reading and commenting on source code MUCH easier.

http://www.cplusplus.com/articles/jEywvCM9/
http://www.cplusplus.com/articles/z13hAqkS/

HINT: you can edit your post and add code tags.

Some formatting indentation would not hurt either

I was thinking of somehow trying to figure out how to implement multithreading within the cards being drawn but I need to clean up the mess I have made first. So far only the opening screen runs correctly.

First design, then code. It looks like you're 'coding on the hoof' which isn't the way to do it. You're ended up with loads of code that doesn't do what you want - and as you say, "is a mess".

Design the game. What input/output/processing/algorithms/data structures/classes are needed? If more than one class, what are the relationships between them?

Once you have the design, then you start to code from the design. You code in small parts and after each part you have a working program. The more your code the nearer the required result. Each part builds upon the previous part which you know is correct because you're tested it before you start to code the next part.

If something doesn't compile work, then you know the problem is with the last part that you coded.

This way, when you're coded the last part you have (or should have if your design is right) a correct working program.

What you don't do is to start off writing the code for the whole program, then set about testing/debugging/changing it.
