Program Crashing

MoreUmph (38)
Hello, im just starting to learn c++ and im writing a text based adventure game and its crashing after it was finished.

UPDATE:

I updated the code, getting error Room1 was not declared, was still crashing before I started getting this error also.



Any help greatly appreciated thank you.

At lines 70-78

Should be either if-else or switch...

Also...it is wrong for openwindow to be string..
Openwindow should be void...and should not be outputted (that's what cause the error)
MoreUmph (38)
If it shouldnt be outputted how do I get that function to work where I want it to? Or my simply, why should it not be outputted?
Changed it to: void OpenWindow1 but yeah cant be outputted get compilation error
73 109[Note] cannot convert 'OpenWindow1()' (type 'void') to type 'const unsigned char*'

It was string so it could receive "leave" or "jump out" for getline(cin, openwindow1); (Line15)

Could you tell me what im doing wrong here or how to fix it?

I read I need to give it a parameter and call on the paramiter but I dont understand, Ive watched all of buckys videos on functions and classes and I still dont get it, cant find any examples using strings just numbers.An example or an explanation I could understand would be great Ive been at this for 2 days and its a little discouraging

In your function string OpenWindow1() you need to return a string - or change the return type to void. If you change to void then you need to remove << OpenWindow1(); from line 73
In string locationTavern1() you need to return a string not 0;
MoreUmph (38)
Thanks for the reply, I returned openwindow1 but nothings changed, and setting to void and removing that from line 73 would cause it not to run or do anything. Updated the code

Even if it was not string...it still could receive leave
Thomas1965 (4571)
What do you expect?
In GameStart.startgame(); you display the intro.
In Dialogue1.dialogue1(); you display some text
In Location1.locationTavern1(); you get a command and depending on this command you display some text or call string OpenWindow1() which displays more text and read a command. If the command is reconised you display a message and return the command.
Then the game ends

It seems you are dealing with a really large project, does it? Perhaps it could become difficult to manage it by yourself: it looks more like something that's worth be done with some friends. But that's not my business, of course.

Reading your comments, I had the impression your are a bit uncertain about the differences between classes and functions.
I've re-arranged your code to make things clearer. I hope it can be of some help.

Happy coding!

I see that you've incorporated classes since your last thread. That's a good move. However, I think you need to consider what a class should represent. Classes should represent objects in your program. For example, a location can be an object, but a dialogue is generally not an object.

I don't know if you've learned inherited classes yet. If not, I would encourage you to look at them. I would make a Tavern class that derives from Location. The Tavern class would have all the actions (functions) that you could do in the Tavern. A Forest class would also derive from your Location class.

Likewise, I would make a Object class. Window and Chest classes would derive from the Object class. Window and Chest classes would have the actions (functions) you could perform upon a Window or Chest.

Your base classes (Location and Object) would have common functions used by their derived classes, such as getAction().

You also need to think about what your functions return and why they're returning something. For example, Location::locationTavern1() is declared to return a string, but you don't return a string, nor do you do anything with the return value when you call the function.

In numerous places you don't do anything if an input doesn't match any of the options. If an input is invalid, you should display an error message and repeat the question.

Thank you all for the replies, ill go over everything you guys told me and let you know how it turns out. Again much appreciated my dudes.
And it will be a large project but its for learning. After Im more confident in reading other peoples code I might consider getting some help on this thanks for the the input

Okay I updated the code, was working pretty well until I tried to link back to my room1, if I add


76 class Object{
77 public:
78 string Chest1();
79 string Window1();
80 string Door1();
81 string Room1();


I get error returned 1 exit status.
Been messing with this all day, looking at all sorts of projects that are similar. And still I dont know what the hell im doing wrong, I need to be able to link back to my previous functions but its seeming to me like this isnt possible.

Thank you all for the replies but I want to get into android app development with C++ and from what ive gathered making games in the console wont help me much with that, if you have an argument to that shoot but otherwise thread closed. Thank you all!

I don't know what the hell I'm doing wrong

If you provided the rest of the diagnostic information which appeared alongside
"returned 1 exit status"
that is, if you actually posted the error message, maybe someone could help you.

From what I've gathered making games in the console wont help me much

What do you believe would be different about C++ if you were developing a mobile app?

You should consider using Java if you're interested in Android development.
