Project (Phase 1) At Max two students are allowed in a group

Submission Date: 20th

December2013till 11:55pm Mark

Instructions:

The project consists of three phases. Each phase will have a deadline. If you miss a deadline of a

particular phase you will not be awarded any credit in that phase.

Each next phase will be dependent on the previous phase, so you must start working on the project

from day-1.

You are required to work in Visual C++ 6.0 only.

A group of maximum size two is allowed, this time make groups of your own choice.

User Interface is important in this project. Try to develop an attractive user interface. Use of extra

features in the project is encouraged.

Use good programming practices (well commented and indented code; meaningful variable names,

readable code etc.).

Copy/cheating case will be awarded an 0 grade in the course.

Email your .cpp file with your groupname and your name should be commented inside start file

In this phase, you are required to specify the game area. The game area is a rectangular grid. You are

required to draw the game area and a Robot inside this area. The rectangular grid is represented by a

two dimensional array of size 24x79 (the console screen is 24x79. To draw the Grid and Robot you can

use special characters (see ASCII table). Your screen must look like:

For this phase, you are required to move Robot only. On pressing A or left arrow key, the robot

should move left and on pressing D or right arrow key the robot must move rightwards. Each time

the robot is supposed to take a movement, you will clear the screen first and then you will draw the

whole grid and Robot again on new location. For example, if head of the Robot is at co-ordinates (4, 5)

on one step forward, the new location of head will be (4, 6) and same goes for the rest of all Robot

components. Your Robot is the combination of different characters.

Your Robot should not cross the boundary of your game. Make Proper boundary checks.

Changing Font Color and Background Color in Visual C++

You need to include following header file

#include There are 16 colors available each given a number.

0 = Black 8 = Gray1 = Blue 9 = Light Blue

2 = Green A = Light Green3 = Aqua B = Light Aqua4 = Red C = Light Red

5 = Purple D = Light Purple6 = Yellow E = Light Yellow7 = White F = Bright White

Color attributes are specified by TWO hex digits -- the first corresponds to the background; the second the

foreground. Each digit can be any of the following values:Sets the default console foreground and background colors.

Examples

Use following functionsystem(color 70)7 is white 0 is black. This will make white background and black font color.

system("COLOR fc") produces light red on bright white

How to Clear screen in VC++

#include

Use this functionsystem (cls)
