HAND CRICKET

game cover design


 Hand Cricket! I bet if you're a student like me in India you'd definitely know that it's most enjoyable hand game one can play at anytime and anywhere. If you know the rules of cricket then it's pretty simple to understand this game. Game of cricket consists of 3 parts:

  1. Toss: Here you have to select heads or tails... if the luck is on your side and the tossed coin flips to the side you selected then you'll have the advantage of selecting whether to bat first or bowl first... on the other hand if you loose; the advantage is taken by the opponent
  2. 1st innings: What you do in the first inning is decided by the Toss.
  3. 2nd Innings: Here's the interesting and final part of the game... Rise to defend if you have batted first and score at will and win if you'd chosen to bowl first
Batting and Bowling in Hand cricket:
  •  In the game you have fixed amount of wickets ( lives ), you have to score before you loose all your wickets
  • At each turn, you can choose any number from 1 to 6
  • if you're batting and you select the same number (between 1-6) as the opponent chooses at the same time then, you lose your wicket. Similarly, if you're bowling, then your opponent would lose a wicket
  • if you're batting and both your selections mismatch, then your selection is added to your score which is initially 0... and similarly, if opponent is batting and your selections mismatch then his selection will be added to his score


This is  another text based game that I've created using C language... I provided link below to download exe file but, it might not run on all systems so I've provided my code below the download section. Just copy paste in your C compiler and execute it!


Below this section is my code. To understand it, you must have basic ideas of concepts of
  • Arrays
  • Structures
  • Functions
  • Recursions
  • rand() function
  • Creativity :)



 So here's the code:

 #include <stdio.h>  
 #include <stdlib.h>  
 char out[2][7]={{'H','e','a','d','s','\0'},{'T','a','i','l','s','\0'}};  
 char sel[2][7]={{'B','a','t','\0'},{'B','o','w','l','\0'}};  
 int wik;  
 struct player  
      {  
           char name[20];  
           int score,wickets;  
      }u={"user",0,10},c={"cpu",0,10};  
 void clear()  
 {  
      system("cls");  
 }  
 void toss();  
 void game(int w);  
 void about();  
 int main()  
 {  
      int opt;  
      clear();  
      printf("\n\n\t\t\t HAND CRICKET VER 1.0");

      scanf("%d",&opt);  
      switch(opt)

 So this is my code... Any doubts? I'd be happy to clarify via comments :)

Beginner's guide to Solving the N-Queens problem using backtracking method

-
Image
This post serves as a good introduction to the backtracking method which is used widely in various types of problems to find a possible solution. Here we'll be seeing how to solve the classical N-Queens problem using backtracking method. Backtracking : The Wikipedia page  for Backtracking defines it as "a general algorithm in which, we try to incrementally build candidates to the solutions, and discard a candidate as soon as we get to know that the candidate cannot possibly be completed to a valid solution".  If that sounds complicated and confusing, don't worry! Let us understand it by running through a small example. Consider you are trapped in a haunted house with five rooms named A, B, C, D and E. Initially, you are in room A and you need to reach room E to exit the house. Below is an image of the rooms in the house. The arrows in the image indicate the directions in which you can move. For example, you can move to rooms B and C from A but, you

PvP Chain reaction game using Python

At last, I've taken time and ventured a little deeper into the Python language! I used the  Tkinter   package to develop a rip-off of an android game called chain-reaction . It's a simple multiplayer board game in which the first person to occupy all the blocks on the board or of the opponent(s) wins. Try downloading and playing the game with your friends, it's FUN! Here's a video of the game I've developed(I've set the number of players to 4 and board dimensions are 6*8): Coming to the coding, I actually enjoyed the process of writing code much more in Python compared to any other previous languages that I've used. Maybe it is due to the fact that it's the first high-level language that I got my hands on. I'd never worked with Tkinter package before. It was quite easy to understand and I was able to build the game in roughly in four hours. I think that just a little effort is enough for anyone to understand how to use the  tkinter  packa

Guide to Solving Maximal Subarray Problem using Kadane's Algorithm

What is 'Maximal Subarray Problem'(MSP)? Given an array having both positive and negative numbers, we need to find a continuous part of the array whose elements when added gives the largest possible sum. Here are few examples to help you understand the MSP better: 1. consider the array [-1, 2, -1, 3]     Now, here is a list of all the possible subarrays along with the sum of their elements: ELEMENTS SUM start index end index -1 -1 0 0 -1, 2 1 0 1 -1, 2,-1 0 0 2 -1, 2,-1, 3 3 0 3 2 2 1 1 2,-1 1 1 2 2,-1, 3 4 1 3 -1 -1 2 2 -1, 3 2 2 3 3 3 3 3     From, the above table, its obvious that the answer is [ 2,-1, 3].     All other subarrays sum up to a value that is less than 4. 2. consider the ar
