But didn't expect to be blocked by shaq The little symbols are an attempt at scenery using ASCII characters.

Banned for being cool enough to play my game. :grin:

Thanks! <3: Old godzilla was hopping around Tokyo city like a big playground

Banned because I pm'd it to you.

Chuck must have put it there.... He does stuff like that, you know.

You should be able to just download it. I didn't have to make an account to upload it. I'll send you the link.

840 Let's go for it.

Banned for C++.

It's a game my group made for our CS final this last semester and I have been expanding it since. The only graphics are ASCII graphics and the point of the game is to find and defeat 16 bosses all of whom are based off of the song "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" as best as I could. Also, while looking for the bosses, you will run into friendly characters who give you health and unfriendly characters that attack you. Defeating a character gives you their weapon. Also, beware Chuck Norris, the damage done by all the characters is random with a maximum damage based off of a set value and your character's level. The set value for Chuck is the biggest number you can have for an integer (approx. 2.14 billion).

Okay. I uploaded it to MediaFire. I'm not sure if posting links to download pages for executables is against the rules or not, so I'll pm it to whoever wants it. Let me know what you think!

I can just upload an executable somewhere if all you want to do is play what I've got so far (it's complete, but it has some... uhh... balancing issues still; let's just say that you die really fast later on in the game and there's basically no way to win). Does anyone no of a good file-hosting site? I've actually never needed one before. lol

Including what's in those standard C++ libraries? :ohnoes:

Banned for hypocrisy.

I'ma go ahead and assume this is some C language... I'm also going to assume you forgot to copy the first (several?) lines of code :wall: WHAR BE YOUR LIBRARIES/HEADER FILES/WHATEVER THEY'RE CALLED??? Unless there is some way to get around all that #include <walrus> stuff... If this is the case, you will learn it to me. It's C++ and I don't know why I didn't put that line in. There's only one include, though.... It's a header file specifically for include statements just to make the code a little prettier. If you're curious, here's what's in my includes.h header file: #include <fstream> #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <vector> #include <cmath> #include <iomanip> #include <cstdlib> #include <ctime> #include <windows.h> //used for getting inputs #include "Classes.h" // holds all the class definitions #include "globals.h" // holds all the global variable declarations #include "prototypes.h" #include "startProgram.h" // menu function and creates the map //#include "file_io.h" // handles regular file I/O - not in use any more #include "bin_file_io.h" // handles binary file I/O #include "friendly.h" // handles friendly character creation and whatnot #include "fighting.h" // handles enemy creation and fighting #include "bosses.h" // handles boss creation and fighting #include "movement.h" // handles movement and refreshing the map It'd be even longer if I followed convention and had two files for each of my 6 classes (one for the definition, one for the definitions of the member functions), but until I start needing an extraordinary number of classes, each with a crapload of member functions, I think I'll pass on that.

Banned because I am a proud geek. There is very little that I am cooler than and I am very much happy with that fact.

College on a 4-1-4 schedule == awesome. Now, I'm going to go play with what I like to call the Energizer Shihtzu.... bbl.
