Need sfml programmer for word guessing game
« on: April 11, 2017, 06:36:14 am »
I found a C++ project that ?I made 4 years ago and would like to have it in a real window instead of a console window. The code is all written and ready, however I have been trying to clean up the code since it was an atrocious mess and I hit a few snags so you'll have to do a little fixing but the code is all there. If anyone is interested in a really small project just for fun then contact me by email at: thundermountainstudios@yahoo.com or send me a PM.

EDIT: I fixed the code, it now works properly and looks nicer, just need someone to create an SFML interface for it.

About the game:

You can enter your own words and have someone sitting next to you guess them, maybe we could add a simple direct online connect feature? or you can load words from a list and the game will load them all and jumble them up and you have to guess them.

Unless someone sees this as a nice programming exercise, you'll probably have a hard time finding someone to write code for you. ;)
Why don't you start the project on your own first? You already have the whole game logic done, now you just need to look at drawing some rectabgle shapes and using the text entered event for input.

No, the game isnt hangman, its actually based off of Crypto-Logic for the Oddysee 2. I should have mentioned that in my post but it escaped me for some reason. I actually found someone who is interested :) I'll post back with updates.

...but is it any kind of collaboration effort?
And does 'SFML interface' refers to GUI or is that the console output is in fact the interface?

Collaboration? If by collaboration you mean that the code is uploaded to github or something and we both work on the SFML gui, then no, I am looking for someone who wants to make a simple GUI for my game, I dont know SFML anymore, its been a really long time. I'm interested in learning it again but I have to refresh my knowledge of C++ as im pretty rusty with that as well.

And why do you want to use sfml for just a text only gui? Unless this is just to practice sfml, you can use Qt, or even simpler languages than c++ like AutoIt:

You can even compile your c++ code into a dll and call it from AutoIt.

Still need someone to create a simple text interface.
