The question will be displayed, and then you can enter 'a' or 'b' (without quote ticks) to begin making your decisions. AFTER YOUR FIRST DECISION: There will be a code That you then enter with your a or b input. This will continue your game where you left off. First Run: enter nothing Second Run: Line One: choice for last run question Line Two: nothing Third and above run: Line One: choice for last run question Line Two: code from last run ***************** ************ ***************** Description: I was inspired by the Netflix tv show, Black Mirror. They debuted a new episode that let you choose your way through the scenes. It was also about a kid who was making a choose-your-own-adventure game. This is my attempt on the SoloLearn platform. Everything is completely original, including the story, so I can't promise it will be good. This is a work in progress. Every new layer of choices doubles in size from the previous layer, so story making takes a lot time. Like and comment if you so choose. I might be so inclined to make more choices. */ #include #include #include #include #include using std::cout; using std::cin; using std::endl; using std::string; /* -------------------------CHOICE-CLASS---------------------------- */ class Choice { protected: string text; char route; public: virtual ~Choice() {}; Choice(); Choice(string text, char route); string getText(); }; Choice::Choice() : text("") , route('x') { } Choice::Choice(string text, char route) : text(text) , route(route) { } string Choice::getText() { return text; } /* -------------------------CHOICEA-CLASS---------------------------- */ class ChoiceA : public Choice { public: ChoiceA(); ChoiceA(string text); }; ChoiceA::ChoiceA() : Choice() { } ChoiceA::ChoiceA(string text) : Choice(text, 'a') { } /* -------------------------CHOICEB-CLASS---------------------------- */ class ChoiceB : public Choice { public: ChoiceB(); ChoiceB(string text); }; ChoiceB::ChoiceB() : Choice() { } ChoiceB::ChoiceB(string text) : Choice(text, 'b') { } /* -------------------------QUESTION-CLASS---------------------------- */ class Question { private: Question * ARoute; Question* BRoute; ChoiceA AChoice; ChoiceB BChoice; string story; std::map pathUniqueModifiers; int modPos; bool modded; private: void modifyStory(string path); public: Question(); Question(string AChoice, string BChoice, bool modded); ~Question(); // functions void makeRoutes(Question* A, Question* B); void ask(string path); Question* goA(); Question* goB(); // give a question a story, which is prited before the question is asked and the choices are offered void giveStory(string story); // Write the modification to the story and the path needed that will make sense for the modification path = "aaba" e.g. void addStoryModifier(string storyMod, string path); }; Question::Question() : ARoute(nullptr) , BRoute(nullptr) , AChoice("") , BChoice("") , story("") , modPos(-1) , modded(false) { // modPos is -1 to start because the lowest a mod position can be is zero, so checking for -1 will mean no mod was added } Question::Question(string AChoice, string BChoice, bool modded = false) : ARoute(nullptr) , BRoute(nullptr) , AChoice(AChoice) , BChoice(BChoice) , story("") , modPos(-1) , modded(modded) { } Question::~Question() { ARoute = nullptr; BRoute = nullptr; } void Question::makeRoutes(Question* A, Question* B) { this->ARoute = A; this->BRoute = B; } void Question::ask(string path) { if (modded) { modifyStory(path); } cout << story << endl << endl; cout << AChoice.getText() << "(a) or " << BChoice.getText() << "(b)?" << endl; } Question* Question::goA() { cout << "Chosen was: " << AChoice.getText() << ".\n" << endl; if (ARoute == nullptr) { cout << "There is no other choice beyond this." << endl; cout << "Thank you so much for playing!
