I've been working on re-implementing a board game in C. However, when running the players positions don't increment.
Current output:
6, 9, 7, 6, 5, 5, 8, 7
6, 9, 7, 6, 5, 5, 8, 7
Expected output:
6, 9, 7, 6, 5, 5, 8, 7
14, 15, 19, 16, 13, 13, 14, 17
Code:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
// Define types here:
typedef enum {false, true} bool;
// Define constants here:
const unsigned char MAXPLAYERS = 7; //Game has max of 8 players
const unsigned char SPACES = 40; //Board has 40 spaces
const unsigned int SEED = 51732; //Seed for random numbers
const unsigned int DIE = 6; //Number of sides of die
// Define variables here:
unsigned char player = 0;
unsigned char player_position [] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};
unsigned char die = 0;
// Define functions here:
// Moves player Input spaces.
void move_player (char moves) {
player_position [player] += moves;
if (player_position [player] > SPACES) {
player_position [player] -= SPACES;
}
}
// Switches active player in order.
void increment_player () {
player ++;
if (player > MAXPLAYERS) {
player = 0;
}
}
// Returns random number between 1 - Input.
unsigned char rand_num (unsigned char max) {
unsigned char i;
i = rand () % max + 1;
return (i);
}
// Sets dice variable && returns 1 if double.
bool roll_dice () {
unsigned char a = rand_num (DIE);
unsigned char b = rand_num (DIE);
die = a + b;
return (0);
}
// Main logic
int main () {
char input = 0;
srand (SEED);
printf ("Game client started.\n",
"Press enter to iterate turns.\n");
while (1) {
scanf ("%c", &input);
for (unsigned char i; i <= MAXPLAYERS; i++) {
roll_dice ();
move_player (die);
increment_player ();
}
printf ("%2i, %2i, %2i, %2i, %2i, %2i, %2i, %2i\n",
player_position [0], player_position [1], player_position [2],
player_position [3], player_position [4], player_position [5],
player_position [6], player_position [7]);
}
return (0);
}
Good to know! I'll be adding it to my watch later list.
