Many Little Games

Project Overview

This C++ project is a collection of several small games, including:

1. Tic Tac Toe
2. Guess the Number
3. Crontab Game

The project is structured to allow easy addition of more games in the future. Each game has its own source file and header file. The main program presents a menu to the user to choose which game to play.

Project Structure

The project is organized into the following directories and files:

many-little-games
├── Makefile
├── README.md
└── src
    ├── guessthecrontab.cpp
    ├── guessthecrontab.h
    ├── guessthenumber.cpp
    ├── guessthenumber.h
    ├── main.cpp
    ├── tictactoe.cpp
    ├── tictactoe.h

Files Description

• main.cpp: Contains the main menu and the logic to launch the selected game.
• guessthenumber.cpp and guessthenumber.h: Implementation of the "Guess the Number" game.
• guessthecrontab.cpp and guessthecrontab.h: Implementation of the "Guess the Crontab Game".
• tictactoe.cpp and tictactoe.h: Implementation of the "Tic Tac Toe" game.
• Makefile: Automates the compilation process for the project.

Compilation Instructions

Prerequisites

• C++ Compiler: Ensure that g++ or another C++ compiler is installed on your system.

Compiling the Project

1. Navigate to the root directory of the project where the Makefile is located.

2. Run the following command in the terminal to compile the project:

   make

   This command will compile all the .cpp files in the src/ directory and generate an executable named games.

Running the Program

After compilation, you have two options to run the program:

1. Manual Run: Run the program by executing the following command:

   ./games

2. Using Make: Alternatively, you can compile and run the program in one step using:

   make run

Cleaning the Build

To remove the compiled object files and the executable, run:

make clean

How to Play

1. Launch the program: After running ./games, a menu will appear.
2. Choose a game: Enter the number corresponding to the game you want to play.
3. Follow the instructions: Each game has its own set of instructions that will guide you through the gameplay.
4. Exit the program: Select the "Quit" option from the menu to exit the program.

Adding New Games

To add a new game:

1. Create a new .cpp file and its corresponding .h file in the src/ directory.
2. Implement the game logic in the new .cpp file.
3. Add a prototype for the game function in the corresponding .h file.
4. Include the new header file in main.cpp.
5. Add a menu option and a case in the switch statement in main.cpp to launch the new game.
