ok now it works.

[devcom]

here is my game tru FTP for 2 players. it's not done yet becouse i have no idea what would be good here, anyway first you must start CONFIG_CONNCECTION.bat in TOOLS folder on booth computers to configure connection move is WASD

any comments would be good

are we still talking about batch? I mostly use it for file management tasks, and even then I can barely be bothered to actually make a batch file (mostly using for and such on the command line.). I'm surprised it can even be used for games, since games are in general interactive and don't execute their commands in a batch.


Now it just needs to be updated to use TCP/IP!

yeah thanks

i thing without another program created in c++ or sth its imposible

This is the batch programs thread!

I don't suppose you remember the 1980-90's when almost all games were made for dos?

u got me. I concede.

If I recall correctly, those programs were written in "real" programming languages(usually a mix of ASM and C). Batch programs at that point in time where just that- they didn't have a lot of the constructs and such they have now (except of course for the for command, which has been expanded quite a lot since). Warranted, games could be constructed with batch, but even a simple guessing game required kludges- and since you couldn't perform numeric comparisons it became a bit difficult to add hints like "higher" and "lower" if desired.

thats true but im just amazed about dev's program because it was written in batch. and good idea of breaking the components of the program down into modules(it makes debugging much easier  )

you can add your sites if u want and add it to autostart for faster searching at startup

Thanks for the tip...

Would you know which thread i should post on to get some help?

Thanks again...

just make a new topic in the Microsoft DOS board.

Hey, I have a simple batch file I'm working on right now- basically it's "multiplayer notepad", or a simple way of instant-messaging across a file server. It's set up so that the text refreshes whenever you type a message or type "refresh", but I want it to refresh in 1- or 2-second intervals. How would I do this without causing it to disrupt the user input?

Code: [Select]

@echo off
set chatname=%COMPUTERNAME%
echo %chatname% has joined.>>chat.txt
:text
cls
echo Enter a message: Type something that isn't
echo   a command listed below, then press Enter.
echo Refresh: "refresh"
echo Change your username: "username"
echo Exit the program: "exit" or "end" or "quit"
echo ---
type chat.txt
echo ---
set /p msg=%chatname%:
if %msg%==refresh goto :text
if %msg%==username goto :username
if %msg%==exit goto :end
if %msg%==end goto :end
if %msg%==quit goto :end
echo %chatname%: %msg%>>chat.txt
goto :text
:username
set /p chatname=Set new username:
goto :text
:end
echo %chatname% has exited.>>chat.txt
Also, if it's at all possible, how can I stop the program from crashing whenever certain symbols (including <>'"\) are inputted?

[devcom]

its hard to make a chat program becouse on each computer you must have one prog to read what sombody wrote and other to read and send your text, it works like e-mail.
or other way is if you send massage to wait until he receive it and send etc. (ofc im talking about FTP)

Code: [Select]

Also, if it's at all possible, how can I stop the program from crashing whenever certain symbols (including <>'"\) are
simpliest is to not write them but this is sample:

Code: [Select]

set a=abc
set a=%a:b=x%
so output a will looke like axc, but this is topic for another thread

[macdad-]

it would probably be easier if you used a 3rd-party software to do the sending and recieving through the network.
