    Default [Help - C++] Saving high scores

    So, our C++ professor told us that our project will be a game designed using c++.

    We're done with the codes however our professor pointed out that the game should record the highest score.

    Can anyone tell me the specific codes to record the highest score?

    Please, anybody. help us! Our project's submission is friday.
    Please help us A.S.A.P. Thanks! )

    Well, high scores are recorded inside files, so creating a new file and just append the latest score to the file should work well. As for reading the score, you simply read the file, sort the entries by score and use a function to split the data appropriately. Of course you can choose to sort before saving to file, too, but then use the option to rewrite the file instead of append. Probably the easiest way to save the score, is to write it in the following format: score|name|date
    The provided format will make any sorting algorithm sort by score.

    Actual code shouldn't be hard to write considering you are in advanced programming.

    Actually, Programming isn't my forte and I suck at writing codes.
    Can you please provide a sample of codes that will record the highest score?

    In the next 2 weeks is not possible, but then it will be too late. We have some C/C++ devs here though. Maybe, if you are lucky, somebody will write it for you, otherwise I might post one as reference, in case anybody else needs it.

    Default Re: [Help - C++] Saving high scores

    Here, I'll get you started. All of the below can be found out quite easily through http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/

    If you know enough of the basic language, the above reference is a great way to expand your knowledge.

    Code:
    #include <algorithm>
    #include <vector>
    #include <string>
    #include <functional>
    #include <fstream>
    
    struct Score {
      // The fields of our score
      std::string strName;
      float fScore;
    
      // Default constructor
      Score() {
        fScore = 0.0f;
      }
    
      // Comparison operator for std::sort()
      bool operator>(const Score &clScore) const {
        return fScore > clScore.fScore; 
      }
    };
    
    // Let's define stream operations for Score to make it easier to read and write ... oh and let's suppose strName is one word for simplicity (otherwise we need to use std::getline())
    
    // First output streams (e.g. std::cout)
    std::ostream & operator<<(std::ostream &os, const Score &clScore) {
      return os << clScore.strName << ' ' << clScore.fScore;
    }
    
    // Now input streams (e.g. std::cin)
    std::istream & operator>>(std::istream &is, Score &clScore) {
      return is >> clScore.strName >> clScore.fScore;
    }
    
    // ...
    
    // Now, then let's say you filled this up already
    std::vector<Score> vScores;
    
    // Sort these in ascending order ...
    std::sort(vScores.begin(), vScores.end(), std::greater<Score>());
    
    // Now, these are sorted and can be saved
    Saving can be done with a loop, or if you want to use STL, through std::copy and std::ostream_iterator (try these out for fun, look under <algorithm> and <iterator> ... though they're often lengthy to use). I'll demonstrate this with a loop since it's simpler.
    Code:
    std::ofstream scoreStream("Scores.txt");
    
    for (size_t i = 0; i < vScores.size(); ++i)
      scoreStream << vScores[i] << std::endl;
    Reading can be done in a similar fashion. If you want to use STL, you can also use std::copy and std::istream_iterator, but you'll need std::back_inserter too (it's quite goofy).
    Code:
    std::ifstream scoreStream("Scores.txt");
    
    std::vector<Score> vScores;
    Score clScore;
    while (scoreStream >> clScore)
      vScores.push_back(clScore);
    For all of these examples, see the references for the included headers above. Good luck. I practically gave you an answer. Try to come up with your own. I hope you learned something.
