CS 2B Intermediate Software Design in C++

Project 23.1

Note: No documentation (comments) required on this project.

It's messy that in the Balrog class's getDamage() function and the Cyberdemon class's getDamage() function

we have to write the name of the species before calling the Demon class's getDamage() function. It would be

better if the Demon class's getDamage() function could print the name of the species. Taking this a step

further, it would be even better if we didn't have to repeat the cout statement "The <whatever> attacks for

? points!" in every class's getDamage() function. It would be better if that cout statement could occur just

once, in the Creature class's getDamage() function.

1. In the Creature class's getDamage() function, insert the following statement:

cout << "The " << getSpecies() << " attacks for " << damage << " points!" << endl;

2. Delete (or, if you prefer, comment out) the similar cout statements that appear in the getDamage()

function of each of the 5 derived classes. (There will be one such cout statement to delete in each of

the 5 getDamage() functions.)

3. Try executing the program. The results won't be quite what we were hoping for.

4. Now make the getSpecies() function in the Creature class a virtual function, and execute the program

again. The results will now be correct.

5. We can now simplify our derived classes even further. Two of the five derived classes have

getDamage() functions that do nothing more than call their parent class's getDamage() function.

Delete these two functions. (Don't forget to delete both the prototype in the class declaration and the

definition.) We don't need them, because they can just inherit the getDamage() function from the

Creature class.

6. You may have noticed that the Creature class's getSpecies() function never gets called. However, it is

absolutely critical that any class that is derived from the Creature class define a getSpecies() function

since that function is called from the Creature class's getDamage() function. The best way to

implement this is to make the Creature class's getSpecies() function a pure virtual function, so that

every class that is derived from the Creature class will be required to implement a getSpecies()

function. Make the Creature class's getSpecies() function a pure virtual function.

7. Comment out the getSpecies() function in the Human class and try compiling the program to see what

happens. then uncomment it (i.e., return it to it's previous state).

8. Make getDamage() a virtual function. This will be important so that in your "battle()" function (see

below) you can say "Creature1.getDamage()" and the damage will automatically be calculated for the

correct Creature. Note that the parameters for "battle()" will be of type "Creature" and they will need

to be pass-by-reference. (You might try making them pass-by-value to see what happens.)

9. Create a new client program (discard the client program from part 1 of the assignment). Make a

function in your client program that is called from main() and has the following prototype:

void battle(Creature &Creature1, Creature& Creature2);

(Note, the parameters are pass-by-reference because the Creature class is an abstract class, so objects

of type "Creature" cannot be declared.) The function should calculate the damage done by Creature1,

subtract that amount from Creature2's hitpoints, and vice versa. (When I say "subtract that amount

from Creature2's hitpoints, I mean that the actual hitpoints data member of the Creature2 object will

be modified. Also note that this means that both attacks are happening simultaneously; that is, if

Creature2 dies because of Creature1's attack, Creature2 still gets a chance to attack back.) At the end

of each round, the function should print the total hitpoints remaining for each Creature. If, at the end

of a round, both Creatures end up with 0 or fewer hitpoints, then the battle results in a tie. Otherwise,

at the end of a round, if one Creature has positive hitpoints but the other does not, the Creature with

positive hitpoints is the winner. The function should loop until the battle is over.

Note that you'll need to reset the creature's hitpoints after each battle.

To start, you may want to use the following very simple main() function to test your battle() function:

int main()

{

srand(static_cast<unsigned>(time(nullptr)));

Elf e(50,50);

Balrog b(50,50);

battle(e, b);

}

Once your battle() function is working, test it with the given main() below. In this main(), every

Creature has a battle with every other Creature. To do this, we first declare four objects, one each of

type Elf, Balrog, Human, and Cyberdemon. Then we declare an array of type Creature* with 4

elements, and make each array element point to one of the four objects. (The array elements will need

to be pointers-to-Creatures rather than simply Creatures because Creature is an abstract class.) Then

we use nested for loops to call battle() with every possible combination of Creatures.

Use these constant definitions:

const int NUM_CREATURES = 4;

const int ELF_DEFAULT_STRENGTH = 24;

const int BALROG_DEFAULT_STRENGTH = 10;

const int HUMAN_DEFAULT_STRENGTH = 100;

const int CYBERDEMON_DEFAULT_STRENGTH = 50;

const int DEFAULT_HITPOINTS = 50;

Use this main() function:

int main()

{

srand(static_cast<unsigned>(time(nullptr)));

Elf e(ELF_DEFAULT_STRENGTH, DEFAULT_HITPOINTS);

Balrog b(BALROG_DEFAULT_STRENGTH, DEFAULT_HITPOINTS);

Human h(HUMAN_DEFAULT_STRENGTH, DEFAULT_HITPOINTS);

Cyberdemon c(CYBERDEMON_DEFAULT_STRENGTH, DEFAULT_HITPOINTS);

Creature* creatures[] = {&b, &e, &c, &h};

for (int i = 0; i < NUM_CREATURES; i++) {

for (int j = i + 1; j < NUM_CREATURES; j++) {

battle(*creatures[i], *creatures[j]);

}

}

}

Here is a sample output. As you know, you'll have to pay close attention to spacing, etc., in order to

get your program to pass the zyBooks tests.

Special zyBooks submission note: To make this work with zyBooks, you will need to

comment out the "srand()" line before submitting.

10. All of the classes should still be in the cs_creature namespace

What's the Point?

Take some time to reflect on the program you just completed from the perspective of the base class,

Creature. With respect to inheritance, you'll see 3 categories of member functions illustrated (not counting

constructors, since they are not inherited).

1. The accessors and mutators are typical member functions that are inherited and never redefined. For

example, the balrog class's getDamage() function calls getStrength(), which it can do because it has

been inherited from the Creature class (via the Demon class).

2. getSpecies() is a pure virtual function. It is not defined in the Creature class, but it must be defined in

every class that is derived from the Creature class, or the Creature class won't work, because the

Creature class's getDamage() function depends on the fact that getSpecies() exists in the derived

class.

3. getDamage() is a virtual member function that is inherited and is sometimes redefined.
