Hi all
I have now finished my cow and bull agme and added a few more extra features.
My game has a main menu.
From that menu you can change the difficulty of the game (select how many letters the hidden word will have) and also increase and decease the number of gussess allowed.
Also I have aded a extra feature called Marker tips. This is a toggle on and off option. When on it will show the player the poistion of cows and bull;s in the game making ti alot easier to guess the word.
I have also added extra features during play like indicating to the player that this is there last chance to get the word right.
Also another hidden feature is that you can return to the main menu when trying to guess the word by just typing the word “end”.
I not sure how to actually send the code so others can try my game??
So hopefully I wil just paste the .h and cpp’s code below??
If theres a betetr way to share please lets me knows.
Thanks
