Projectile game in C [Cannon-Ball]

20 Years Ago Asif_NSU 0 3K Views

It's a game where u shoot from a cannon and the cannon-ball moves like a projectile and hits a target. So u will see three major things in this program:

1. Rotating a cannon;
2. How to move an object like a projectile
3. A very simple collision detection

Before compiling the code dont forget to change the path used in initgraph() function accordingly.

This is a DOS game and needs Turbo C/C++ to compile. If u want to see the output(the complete program), Download the game from here:

I tried compiling it but got an error that it couldn't include graphics.h because the file doesn't exist. Or something like that. I'm probably doing it wrong. I tried using MS Visual Studio.NET.

as I said dont forget to "change the path used in initgraph() function accordingly." Their should be a 'bgi' folder in ur compilers directory. Set the path of the initgraph function towards that bgi.

And seems like my Turbo C++ compiler has graphics.h file but ur compiler doesnt. So here is the graphics.h file. Copy this file to ur compilers folder named INCLUDE.

Woo,
As far as I know graphics.h use BGI.You can use it with Turbo C++ like Asif_NSU or use Borland C++.

In Borland C++ right-click on the cpp source window and choose Target Expert.You should a beautiful window with options everywhere.Just look to the lower right and you should see Windows 32 and below the Console.Just choose Dos (Standard) instead of Windows.Then the path in the initgraph should be "bc5/bgi" or copy evga.bgi from there to your current folder.
[Compiler I have tried BGI on:Turbo C++,Borland C++ 5.02(Commercial,not the free one)].
Visiual Studio Net would understand BGI like Greek or something.

The most common error would be:
Code:
error directive BGI not supported under Windows

the error i get is " unexpected end of program" and then it says cannot execute hl.exe
I'm using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 PE

THIS CODE SHOULD ONLY BE COMPILED USING BORLAND C++ / TURBOC++ COMPILERS.THIS A GAME MADE FOR MS-DOS , AND WILL ONLY WORK THERE. BECAUSE I HAVE USED SO MANY DOS SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS FOR THE GRAPHICS IN THE GAME THIS IS HIGHLY NON-PORTABLE. FURTHERMORE, U NEED TO SET THE PATH IN THE initgraph() FUNCTION TOWARDS THE "BGI" FOLDER OF UR COMPILERS DIRECTORY. I KNOW DOS IS DEAD NOW, BUT I THINK IF U STUDY THE CODES HERE WE WILL LEARN SOMETHING NONETHELESS.

Hey guy i'm just starting out on C++, i like ur game program and would like to run it. should i copy the codes and run in my computer? pls tell me other things i must do to get the result. i am using borland C++ compiler v5.5.
thanks.

if this is true, then the MSVC++ users should prob go new project -> win32 console app. then new file -> source file. i think i got the labels right (i didnt actually open the prog). some1 let me know if it worked for em, i hope it does!

Asif_NSU 25 Posting Whiz

Only problem i have seen while using VC++(win32 console app)is that it cannot open the graphics.h file.
because i have used functions like initgraph(), outtextxy(), circle(), rectangle() etc to draw things in console screen. Moreover, the initgraph() function depends on the BGI folder(whatever is in it). If u guys can remedy this problems it will work. Listen I m gonna make this program run in ur machine-- pc(no mac or linux). So follow the steps...

Step 1 . use the compiler i used:
Download it(2.87 mb) from the following site and unzip it to the default path given, dont change the path.
link to download :
http://download.35mb.com/neverwinter/the file named Tc.exe

Step2. Change the PATH variable,
start>run
type "sysedit"
the system configuration editor shows up
in the autoexec.bat file add the path to bin folder of the tc compiler by typing:
PATH c:\tc\bin
it could also be like PATH c:\windows;c:\tc\bin
Now save changes to the autoexec.bat file

Go to command prompt and change directory to c:\
type c:\PATH
see if the path is set
then type c:\autoexec
this will activate the autoexec.bat file
Now run the compiler like this
c:\cd tc\bin
then type tc
now the compiler should run
so should the code

let me know if someone did actually run it

I like Tubor C/C++ very much.
The Path can modity in TC++,the step is:
1st: run tc-->select "Option"menu-->select "Directories..."
2nd: modity the path in the pop window. finally, press the "Ok".
3rd: select "Option" menu-->select "Save...". ok!finished.

by the way,you must sure the "Inlucde" and "Lib" path was existed,if not,you will cant compile the codes.(will prompt a lot of errors.)

--That is if u could run TC. U might not be able to run TC if u dont set the PATH variable ;) . Its so bcos the version u r downloading doesnt install TC++, it just unzips the copy i have in my pc--that's why u have to set tha PATH variable manually.
