void Say (const char * format, ...)
{
char buffer[1024];
va_list args;
va_start(args, format);
vsprintf(buffer, format, args);
g_pCore->Taunt(buffer);
}
You can use it like this:
// Bot will spin around and tell you how many things it sees
void BotName::Update()
{
Say("I see %d things", g_pCore->GetNumObjectsInSight());
g_pCore->TurnLeft(TURN_SLOW);
}
BTW Kevin, when I ran this code, the bot sees zero things when it looks into a corner, but that''s for the bug thread.
#include <windows.h>class CTimer {public: CTimer(); virtual ~CTimer(); int GetTime(); void Reset(); int Stop(); void Start(); bool IsTiming() { return IsTiming; } int Time;private: int EndTick; int StartTick; bool Timing;}; CTimer::CTimer(){ Reset(); //Reset to 0. Timing = false;}CTimer::~CTimer(){}void CTimer::Start(){ StartTick = GetTickCount(); //Store current Tick Count in StartTick. Timing = true;}int CTimer::Stop(){ if(StartTick == 0) { return 0; } EndTick = GetTickCount(); //Store TickCount in EndTick. Timing = false; Time+=(EndTick - StartTick); return EndTick - StartTick; //Return Time.}void CTimer::Reset(){ if(Timing) //If the timer is still active, stop timing { Stop(); } StartTick = 0; //Reset values to 0. EndTick = 0; Time = 0;}int CTimer::GetTime(){ if(StartTick == 0) { return 0; } int tmpTick = GetTickCount(); return tmpTick - StartTick;}
To time, user must call the Start() function. When user wishes to stop timing call the Stop() function.Stop will return the time interval counted, however, the user can access this at a later time throughthe public variable Time. Reset() resets the timing values (including Time) to 0. If the user should start timing again without calling Reset(), then the time will be added to the last time interval.Use the GetTime() function to get the time without interupting timing. Use this to display live datafrom the timer with out stopping it.
