need help with a batch file

[vampist]

wait were did you put it I wanna play

What?

EDIT: by the way I looked over you code.. Dude.. You don't need all of those echo off commands. Just one at the beginning is fine.

 

[thevil1]

SET /A x=%RANDOM%%%2%

Outputs 1 or 0

It's a command in the code yes? so I was wondering were to put it.

 

[vampist]

SET /A x=%RANDOM%%%2%

Outputs 1 or 0

It's a command in the code yes? so I was wondering were to put it.

Okay, took me a little bit because I had to rewrite almost the whole code.
But here is a working "game".

@ECHO OFF
@Color 09

@SET /A yournumber=150
GOTO :start

:start
CLS
ECHO Numbergrow -made by MaRtIn C. in 2oo9
ECHO Edited by Vampist
ECHO Try to grow your number to 5000 to win
ECHO and make sure it stays above 50 or you lose.
ECHO You start at 100 and You can type in 25 50 75 100 125 150
ECHO 175 or 200. The number you type in will either be added
ECHO or subtracted from your number.

ECHO Type in play to start the game or color to adjust the color

with batch file colour changing

0 = black
1 = Blue
2 = Green
3 = Aqua
4 = Red
5 = purple
6 = Yellow
7 = white
8 = grey
9 = light blue
A = light green
B = light Aqua
C = Light Red
D = Light purple
E = light yellow
F = Bright white



if you write color 2, the text changes to green, (with a black background)

if you write color 24, the the text changes to red on a green background.

(first number is background colour, last number is text colour), if you only put one number it changes the text colour and defaults the background to 0, black.

Python and Perl....

Python and Perl....

What about them?

If you're saying they're much better, more flexible and modern alternatives to windows batch files these days then I completely agree. Perl especially (I'm not a huge fan of Python!)

 

[MartinC.]

what are python and perl?

 

[berry120]

Other programming language. Python is a language that aims to accomodate lots of different styles of programming into one package (but in my opinion, ends up being a bit half hearted in all of them as a result.) Perl is a straight scripting language that's commonly used for knocking up small applications in the shortest amount of time. You can think of it as a bit like batch scripts - but far more extensive, modern, usable and worthwhile learning!

...If you go down the Perl route though, a word of caution - a lot of Perl programmers just treat Perl as one big hack. The philosophy behind it is usually "let's see how quickly we can write an application to do x", not "let's see how WELL we can write an application to do x". While that's fine if you know good concepts and can apply them already, I wouldn't recommend starting out that way - it'll do BAD BAD things to your coding in the future!
