C # Coding live! making console mini games! coding basics!

Hey, yo, and welcome guys if there's anybody out there We're just doing some console programming today. Just kind of brushing up on some skills. It's been a while. I wanted to get back into Playing around with this stuff so basically, I've made a Simple console program with a few different options in here right now. I can see my game selection screen Or I can Learn how to type Hit com Help or command for this menu here. I can print a random quote and then I have My game so far. I only have tic-tac-toe here And we'll run through this real quick It crashed because I typed 33 instead of 3. Let's take care of that real quick. That's one of the problems. I was having with The tic-tac-toe game so we need to parse the input of What whoever is turn it is is putting in there right now. It is selecting so I can only put in one integer number and When I put in anything that is more than that I get an error, so let's see here in class Let's find Yeah, and like I said, no ultimate goals here today If you have any questions, feel free to ask them if you have any suggestions, I'm open to those too Definitely. I always like to check out other people's ideas and get their input so Okay gaming so right here basically I'm checking to see if hang on one second All right, no, I got dropped there for a second we should be back up and going here in a second Okay, so this is basically what I was looking for. This is at my game input. I'm basically checking to see Whose turn it is here, and then I'm checking to see if I already input This is the method that takes my two integers So there's probably a couple different ways to do this this is actually getting called by another method here so Stuffs from before I had both of these two different turns here. Let's Check this out. So I'm basically grabbing the grid number XY if it's equal to one I am Basically setting it here. So Nope, that's computer's turn. That's not where I want to be Okay, this is this is where I'm having the issue right here So right now I'm converting it to an int and then I'm using that int to pass into game input. So Since I only have three rows these are one digit numbers Let's make another method Or if I punch in two numbers This method is only going to take One int and that is going to be Column and that's because if I make the mistake of hitting two numbers, it's probably gonna be that first time. So Let's generate this gonna look exactly like the other method we're using here So we'll take this copy it and Basically, we're overloading this method by changing this into just one here. So and in this case I'm going to need to take column and parse it into two separate numbers because If I only have one int just trying to think of the best way to do this, so Let's see Let's do this Well, it's even easier. All right In this case, we're putting it back and then we can do Now I'm just being a smart aleck, that's a poor choice of variable there, but it don't really matter so so This case it's going to be index equals So basically we need to get these two numbers I don't really need the length All right, so let's try it out just basically undo all of that crap that we just did so let's Stop this Get rid of this whole method We're gonna try this a different way. It's the most beautiful part about coding You don't like it. Just get rid of it Do it again so So I just had an idea That I think will work better, but I guess it depends all right, so let's Do I have to exit the game to get back to restarting the console? so What's up? What's up folks? I'm losing my voice a little bit. That's why I'm not talking too much, but let's see if this works You can't see that. Yeah So fine, we'll do it this way don't need to pass anything through In fact, that's okay. Let's see what happens here. We'll try it again Let's see what other quotes are only a few Illustrated by how many times it'll play the same one now, but there are different ones All right, that works with back to the main menu, okay, so So I have this list this is random lines basically I have a static instance of this in here and it runs in my run startup system loading List full of lines this basically where it gets those quotes. So if anybody wants to see a quote I'm not really making a game. I'm just kind of messing around with code and Taking suggestions ideas things like that there. That was tic-tac-toe Um, I am gonna add some more games to this little console app that I'm doing right now, though. I need quotes to add to Quote generator for when we open this little console app. So let's try Some CC in the same thing over and over again All right, that's been up just keep busy basically when you take a look at this little method here Basically this is basically Counting the number of lines grabbing a random line and returning that so then in my main program when I type in Check that's my game menu input and Main menu input when I type quote it uses that Instance that our line instances grab a line and pull it in and it returns whatever random string I get so we can try This out again. Check out some of those new strings as they pop up Just for shits and giggles it's a little bit a little bit of fun I like to keep up on my coding skills I'm really really tired right now guys. Sorry, and I'm a little bit rusty I've been doing a lot of 3d printing things like that if you'd like to check out 3d Printing and you don't know much about it. Definitely do that if you're here for the 3d printing Coding is a very valuable tool to have in The 3d printing realm so I am the walrus. Let's see. What else we got Bacon Blows Yeah, so Cool. Also, this is in my Main menu input. So if I type something random and it doesn't understand it just says I don't understand So if it's not listed in this specific commands, it'll do that because otherwise it'll just drop out So here are the commands that I have so far If I type play games or game it brings up the game menu you saw that game a little bit earlier it was just a tic-tac-toe hit the number to play it and Computer is not very good. Would you like to play again? I could type yes. Yeah, or hit the Y button I'm just gonna hit no anything else you hit other than yes, or the Y button will kick you back out So then it's gonna give us up back to the main menu and a little quote here. So This is the first simple little application I put in here and That reminds me. Let's stop this. Let's go up in here And we have a games menu. How about an applications menu Because I think we'll do a little couch real quickly I'm basically copying and pasting a lot of this. It's a lot of it's gonna be the same So I'm just kind of doing a little commenting trying to keep track of things I'm not using any of these strings. They're not gonna do anything for me. So we're gonna change Want anything to happen there? So absolutely, okay, so we need to add a command in here else if for the apps They don't have the answer not to make it it's gonna be a similar to this Apps menu Okay, so everything should be buttoned up there Display command. I know there's a few more commands. I put in there. I don't really need to list them all brings up Let's try this out. See if we have everything where we need it All right, so we now have the option to type apps or app And it brings up the calculator now if I hit one in this situation It drops me out because I don't have anything handling that so we need to do is create a Actually, I need to get rid of this before it screws me Don't worry, there's nothing in that. Okay, so right-click All right, so we have this We're gonna need a Constructor that'll allow me to make my own calculator in here Using it We'll just call it calc Okay, so That should about do it for that part so Like I said, I know I'm losing my voice guys. I'm sorry. I'm gonna take a drink here. See if that helps a little All right, yes, it's a little bit better, okay so now In order to build my calculator out. I have to When creating a new calculator, we're gonna go in here and we do that. It's going to Call this method public calculator, this is actually a Constructor, it's basically what's gonna allow me to build this calculator. I don't have anything coming into it It's just empty right now. But the first thing I want to do is run a method to actually print something. So Let's do Calc welcome Then we have to make that method so we're gonna make this a private void calc welcome console dot write line That's not what I meant right line and End quote there and now again if I open this and I run the Calculator welcome class or in there, excuse me If I open a calculator and then I run this method It's going to write this line and then since it's not doing anything after it's going to drop right out. So console Read line this and tell it to wait until it gets input before doing anything at that point once I input Since there's never anywhere to go. It is still gonna kick us out, but this will at least allow this to show So let's go back in here We have to set our apps menu check apps menu string equals one And this is an exit string that'll bring us back to the main menu if we type exit escape main menu main or menu Actually put X in there too, but that is gonna be good enough to open our calculator Let's try it out We got an error somewhere. So All right, welcome to the calculator app now the next thing we want to do is get rid of this here so when we open our calculator First thing we want to do is clear the console For now the type today Then we will print all right, and then we're gonna go for a Another method for parsing the input of what we put in so Let's start with so we're gonna change this to a string string C string This is gonna get us the return from this method here And that is actually going to let's see So we're still telling it to wait for input basically we're telling it we want to get back a string And then we're gonna return Okay This is basically saying what I'm gonna get out of this string. So now we have this string C string. That is our calc input Now we need to parse it. So Parse C string Okay, so now if I were to type something into the calculator such as 1 plus 1 it would concatenate that into a String and basically I'm passing that string into this to parse it in order to separate the ones from the pluses if you understand what I'm saying, so this is basically going to differentiate The different numbers and the different operators that are included in that string so in order to do that I need to identify those operators identify where they are placed within that string what position they're at and then I need to get substrings of that string and create a basically a string array Containing each of my numbers and operators in the proper order So that's gonna take a little bit of typing and it's not very fun to watch. So I'm definitely gonna keep going here. But for right now, I think I am going to pause this video I will be back on in about an hour. I am also I got the kids tonight so we are getting ready to do dinner here and then I shall return but please please please leave a like and I would be very very happy to see you in the continuation of this video
