Maze in C++

Simple Maze Program – Project Specifications:

1. Create a simple maze game that a player must traverse to win.

3. The maze must be text-based and adjustable from 5x5 to 20x20. • Player gets to choose size either as:

1) any size in the range from 5-20 by 5-20. 2) selects from 4 set size options [5x5,10x10,15x15, and 20x20] • the player can choose among different mazes. • You will need to figure out how to denote your location in the maze.

For a 5x5 maze you have 25 actual spots that are valid, if you can get to them. • You will need to figure out a way to know if you can move in a particular direction or not. You cannot move East if there is a wall to your East.

4. The maze must be displayed with a current position of the player after each move. • Display the Text-based Maze to the player - top-down view • Players sees the maze layout (walls and openings), but not what is in each maze area (e.g. Items, locked door, or mobs)

5. The maze must contain Randomized Items for the player to pick up or interact with: • At the start of the game -- Items are randomly placed in the maze • Only story specific items at the starting and ending locations, do not need to be randomized.

Some suggestion for Classes:

1. Maze -- data and functions associated with maintaining and drawing the maze

2. Items -- data and functions associated with each object in the maze

3. Player -- data and functions associated with the player

4. Backpack -- data and functions associated with stuff player picks up in maze

Some suggestion for Functions – mostly if classes not used:

1. Function to display Maze Game Introduction.

2. Function to display Game Help.

3. Function to display the maze for the player.

4. Function to get move direction from player.

5. Function to display information about current location.

6. Function to display information about a specific item.

7. Function to display current inventory

8. Function to display menu or user prompt for next command.

9. Function to display whether the player won or lost

11.The Maze Game Program needs to include:

• A game introduction displayed to the player to welcome them to the game. • Initialize all the game elements.

• Create a Play Again Loop so the player can play again.

• Create an internal Game Loop so that the player can progress through the game one command at a time.

• User Prompts to let the player know how to interact with the game and what commands are valid at this time. This prompt can either be 1 line or a menu display. • A help display on command.

• Quit must be accepted as a command to stop the game at any time. • The maze must be displayed with current position after every command is acted upon.

• You must give the player information/feedback of their current position and what is around them (like items) after each command to let them know their status.

• You must let the player know they won or lost or quit to end the play Game Loop.

• A game farewell message must be given before you end the game.

Hi,

Below is the required code for the maze problem in c++:

#include<bits/stdc++.h>
#include<iostream>
#include<windows.h>
using namespace std;
int getKey();
const char WALL = (char)219;
void main(){
int row = 0;
int column = 0;
int key = getKey();
COORD newCoord = { column, row };
SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), newCoord);
cout << WALL;
while (key != VK_ESCAPE) {
if (key == VK_LEFT && column > 0){
column--;
}
else if (key == VK_RIGHT){
column++;
}
else if (key == VK_UP && row > 0){
row--;
}
else if (key == VK_DOWN){
row++;
}
COORD newCoord = { column, row };
SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), newCoord);
cout << WALL;
key = getKey();
}
}
int getKey(){
int result = 0;
while (result == 0)
{
short MAX_SHORT = 0x7FFF; //111111111111111
if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LEFT) & MAX_SHORT){
result = VK_LEFT;
}
else if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_UP) & MAX_SHORT){
result = VK_UP;
}
else if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_RIGHT) & MAX_SHORT) {
result = VK_RIGHT;
}
else if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_DOWN) & MAX_SHORT){
result = VK_DOWN;
}
}
return result;
}
