A VERY Simple Game!

[Prithak]

This is a game I made in just 1 Hour. This is a game me and my friends used to play on paper but now, It's on PC! Here's the code:
(BTW, this is a 2-player game)

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(800, 600, 32)
2. COLOR , _RGB32(255, 255, 255)
3. COLOR _RGB32(0, 0, 0)
4. _FULLSCREEN
5. CLS
6. turn = 1
7. a$ = "CUT-N-CUT"
8. LOCATE 1, 40 - LEN(a$) / 2: PRINT a$
9. b$ = "A Multiplayer Game!"
10. LOCATE 2, 40 - LEN(b$) / 2: PRINT b$
11. LOCATE 3, 1: PRINT "This game is in development... So no multiplayer for the next 3 updates"
12. INPUT "Enter the total no. "; no
13. DIM x$(no)
14. FOR i = 1 TO no
15.     x$(i) = STR$(i)
16. NEXT i
17. x = 1
18. y = 1
19. CLS
20. PRINT "2ND PLAYER LOOK BACK!!!"
21. INPUT "1st Player enter your chosen number"; cn1
22. CLS
23. PRINT "1ST PLAYER LOOK BACK!!!"
24. INPUT "2nd Player enter your chosen number"; cn2
25. CLS
26. DO
27.     x = 1
28.     y = 1
29.     FOR i = 1 TO no
30.         LOCATE y, x: PRINT x$(i)
31.         LOCATE 1, 20: PRINT "Turn: "; turn
32.         y = y + 1
33.         IF y > 25 THEN
34.             y = 1
35.             x = x + 10
36.         END IF
37.     NEXT
38.     in:
39.     LOCATE 26, 1: INPUT "Enter your num"; num
40.     IF RIGHT$(x$(num), 5) = "(CUT)" THEN
41.         PRINT "That number is already chosen!"
42.         GOTO in
43.     END IF
44.     x$(num) = x$(num) + "(CUT)"
45.     IF num = cn1 AND turn = 2 THEN
46.         PRINT "PLAYER 1 WINS!!"
47.         END
48.     ELSEIF num = cn1 AND turn = 1 THEN
49.         PRINT "PLAYER 1 CUT HIS/HER OWN NUMBER! PLAYER 2 WINS!!"
50.         END
51.     ELSEIF num = cn2 AND turn = 1 THEN
52.         PRINT "PLAYER 2 WINS!!"
53.         END
54.     ELSEIF num = cn2 AND turn = 2 THEN
55.         PRINT "PLAYER 2 CUT HIS/HER OWN NUMBER! PLAYER 1 WINS!!"
56.         END
57.     END IF
58.     IF turn = 1 THEN
59.         turn = 2
60.     ELSEIF turn = 2 THEN
61.         turn = 1
62.     END IF
63.  
64.     _DISPLAY
65.     CLS
66.     _LIMIT 60
67. LOOP
68. 'LOL
69. 'LOL
70.  

And also, I'm looking for making this a competitive game, If any ideas bubble up your mind. Please let me know!
HOW TO PLAY:
1) Choose the limit of the numbers(Like, From 1 to 20)
2) Player 1 Chooses a Number from 1 to 20
3) Player 2 Chooses another Number from 1 to 20
4) If Player 1 Cuts the number of Player 2, Player 2 Wins.
5) If Player 2 Cuts the number of Player 1, Player 1 Wins.
6) If Player 1 or 2 Cuts his/her own number, he/she loses.

It's as simple as that!

With due regards,

Hi Prithak,

I love simple games.

So the object of this game is to NOT be the first to pick one of the picked numbers, as opposed to say trying to guess what the other player did pick before the other player does. So if the other player seems to be avoiding a number that might be the one he picked. Correct?

I am surprised the font effect achieved by _FULLSCREEN.

I will try a version to play against the computer, if you don't mind.

WOW! I'd love including this in my main game but I need to learn this not CTRL + C and CTRL + V it xD. This was a nice play bplus! Thanks for making this

Correct! BTW, I came up with this game at school xD. Instead of guessing others number, we have to avoid it lol.
I'm surprised as well at the font of _FULLSCREEN! It looks cool!

A nice game and a pleasure to share ideas with someone across the world! :)
