I've been trying to make a program that animates from an array in C, and I can't get it to work. The idea is to have a separate header file that stores all of the frames of the animation. (all of the frames are just text - ascii) Then in the main program, there is a function called playForward that plays the animation forward.
Here's the main file...
#include <stdio.h> #include "frames.h" void playForward( char *frames ); int main( void ) { playForward( *bounce ); getchar(); return 0; } void playForward( char *frames ) { int i = 0; /* outer counter */ int j = 0; /* inner counter */ int k = 0; /* double inner counter */ for( i = 0; i < frameNum * frameHeight; i++ ) { printf( "%s\n", &frames[ i ] ); } /*for( i = 1; i <= frameNum; i++ ) { for( j = 0; j < frameHeight; j++ ) { //for( k = 1; k <= frameLength; k++ ) { printf( "%s\n", &frames[ j ] ); //} //printf( "\n" ); } printf( "\n" ); }*/ }
...and here's the header file (frames.h)...
int frameNum = 5; int frameHeight = 3; int frameLength = 5; char *bounce[] = { "*****", "* ", "*****", "*****", " * ", "*****", "*****", " * ", "*****", "*****", " * ", "*****", "*****", " *", "*****", };
As you can see, the animation is very simple, and I just want to figure out how to make it work.
This is the output I get when I run the program:
***** **** *** ** * * * *
But I want it to print this:
***** * ***** ***** * ***** ***** * ***** ***** * ***** ***** * *****
(or something like that - this forum messes up the spacing in the code )
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thanks!
