Ok i did C++ over 10 years ago but i just started getting into this, i'm trying to write a cafe type game, nothing spectacular but it will help me learn as i go along.
cls //Clearing The Screen
load bitmap "steel.bmp" //Loading Background
name$ = ""
INPUT "What is your name? ", name$
print "Hello " + name$
Print "Press Any Key To Continue "
wait key
cls //Clearing The Screen
load bitmap "steel.bmp" //Loading Background
Level#=1 //Players Starting Level set to 1
Exp#=0 //Players Starting Experience
NextExp#=500 //Players Next Level Experience
level$ = "Current Level " //Text String for current Status
Status$= "Press Key To Cook Pizza" //Text String
SET TEXT TO BOLD
CENTER TEXT 320, 0, " " + name$ + "'s Cafe"
SET TEXT TO NORMAL
print level$, Level# //Screen output Current Level
print Exp#; "/"; NextExp# //Screen output Experience
print Status$ //Screen output Current Status
DO
if Exp# > NextExp#
Exp# = NextExp#
NextExp# = NextExp# * 2
Level# = Level# + 1
endif
Status$ = "Press Key To Cook Pizza" //Text String for current Status
cls //Clearing The Screen
load bitmap "steel.bmp" //Loading Background
SET TEXT TO BOLD
CENTER TEXT 320, 0, " " + name$ + "'s Cafe"
SET TEXT TO NORMAL
print level$, Level# //Screen output Current Level
print Exp#; "/"; NextExp# //Screen output Experience
print Status$ //Screen output Current Status
wait key //Wait for the user to press a key
Status$ = "Please Wait Cooking Pizza..." //Text String for current Status
cls //Clearing The Screen
load bitmap "steel.bmp" //Loading Background
SET TEXT TO BOLD
CENTER TEXT 320, 0, " " + name$ + "'s Cafe"
SET TEXT TO NORMAL
print level$, Level# //Screen output Current Level
print Exp#; "/"; NextExp# //Screen output Experience
print Status$ //Screen output Current Status
sleep 3000 //Timer
Exp# = Exp# + 120 //Add 120 Experience
print "You gained 120 Exp!" //Gain 120 Experience
sleep 1000
LOOP
As you can see from my code i'm doing alot of clearing the screen and reloading the bmp so that i can update, it works fine but i know i am doing it wrong,
anyway i think i should be using functions, i'll post what i think i should be doing then if anyone can point me in the right direction i would be very greatful, BTW i ain't got buttons or graphics yet it's all text just while i learn the code.
Should i have Functions for each item in my cafe, Pizza Function and Chips function Tea function ETC. As each item has a cooking time and money value as well as EXP value, Then can i call the EXP function or update the EXP function when needed, are these called Global functions...?
Thanks for any help
