Hello Guys,
Someone can tell me if it is possible to create a program like Robocode, a game controlled at runtime by an external source file in visual c ++? For example create a checkers game where there would be an external source file, read at runtime, which would play automatically, with artificial intelligence. You can? If yes, how?
If I can? Probably yes.
How? Sweating a lot.
Oh, sorry for my bad english, i wanted to say: "it is possible create a program like this?" how to interpret the code at runtime with c++? I have no idea how to do...Quote:

Millions of lines of code to read and execute source code? I do not know if you understood my idea or seen the Robocode, but would for example something like this: There would be a square on the screen and the user would send a source code with predefined functions to move the square, for example "move up "," move down ", etc.. I'm not asking you to do this for me. I do not have much experience with object-oriented language, I am still studying, just wanted to know the possibility and viability of doing something. I think it would be easier with Java, being an interpreted language, but wanted to do in C + +, however I can not find stuff on the internet about it. Java would be more viable?Quote:

Of course someone or some team of programmers can write such a program.Quote:

Have you seen Robocode?Quote:

The user would play with your code, without interfering in the source code or visual game
Robocode is like that but it is in java
Your original question was answered.Quote:

2)This is where you're vague. Just asking us "how" is an open-ended question. It's like asking someone "can you build a skyscraper", and then asking "how?".Quote:

By first producing a program design and then crafting the correct c++ code from the design. The hard part is nearly always producing the design because that is where most of the thinking has to be done. What input/output is needed, what classes are needed, how they interface with each other etc etc etc. None of this is directly related to c++. The design if done properly could then be coded in any suitable language.Quote:
