That way you can iterate over the rows and pick a random die face from each to face "up". Making your swaps with 16 different arrays could turn into a nightmare. I don't have too much to add besides that. Sounds like a neat (and doable) project! Definitely post back if you have any further questions about it… Re: Boggle 15 Years Ago by hag++ I agree with jonsca, use a 2D array. The rest is all up to you and VERY customizable. Depending on how crazy your prof is.... you could step through the array and randomize each dice using rand() generator limited by the amount of letters in alphabet. Re: Boggle 15 Years Ago by sfurlow2 So, I'm working on function to output to the screen. I read the dice into a 2d array. I'm trying to arrange the output into a 4x4 grid of letters. Each letter must be randomly chosen from one of the six letters on one of the sixteen dice. Everytime I compile and run it, most of the data is correct, however sometimes I get a letter which doesn't … Re: Boggle 15 Years Ago by jonsca rand() % 7 is going to get you numbers between 0 and 6 which will overstep the bounds of your array by 1 if a 6 is pulled. I'm confused why you broke up the loop like you did? Re: Boggle 15 Years Ago by hag++ [QUOTE=jonsca;1107855]rand() % 7 is going to get you numbers between 0 and 6 which will overstep the bounds of your array by 1 if a 6 is pulled.

Also, when you define a function: [/quote] Yes, to get numbers from 1 to 6 that is what you would do, but he's stored them in array (zero based) so you don't need the +1. Re: Boggle 15 Years Ago by sfurlow2 Thanks for all your help, but I have one more question then my project should be complete, I just have to tidy it up a bit. The last thing that I'm having trouble with is pretty small. Whenever the letter Q is "face up" on the board, we're supposed to output "Qu". Since the dice are stored in a two dimensional character array, … Re: Boggle 15 Years Ago by jonsca How do you display your other characters? I would just output the actual 'Q' on the die and add the extra character as if you were adding the next actual letter. e.g., [code] cout <<dice[i][j]; if(dice[i][j] == 'Q') cout<<'u'; [/code] Re: Boggle 15 Years Ago by dusktreader I know the solution to the random reordering has already been handled, but here is a solution that I find more mathematically satisfying. 1. Assign each die a random x, y coordinate a. The coordinates should be real numbers (i.e. doubles ) b. If you prefer integers, then the range of possible values for each dimension should be … Re: Boggle 15 Years Ago by sfurlow2 Thanks for all your help. My program is done.
