A repository for old school retro C++ games

RetroGaming

Retro gaming is a repository for old school retro C++ console style games. These will range from trivial to more complex and could/should be used as programming tutorials. You should see basic inheritence, use of the standard libraries, looping, logic trees, etc. etc. All of this code is under the Apache 2.0 license.

retrogaming's Issues

Substitution Cipher - Replace substitution with full ASCII character set

Currently the substitution cipher just uses the English Alphabet. I want to expand it to include the full ASCII character set which would give you a wider range of encryption and be a bit harder for a human to read.

Rail Fence - Complete cipher

There is a base line of entry points for the rail fence cipher that needs to be completed. It should return a vector of strings that contain the results. All strings should be the same length so some padding may be required. I really haven't done much other than to create the method and maybe put some basic stuff in there. It really needs to be completed.

Complete encrypt file method in Transposition

We have an empty method EncryptFile in the Transposition.cpp file. This needs to be implemented so that we can encrypt a real file. The method takes an original file, the destination file, and the offset.

Utilities - Complete file writing methods

There are 3 entry points in the Utilities class that need to be completed. One for appending text and two for overwriting text. All three should return a bool for success/failure.

Create GenerateRandomFileName in Utilities

We need a way to generate a random (GUID) filename. We should add a function in the utilities class that returns a new random GUID.txt filename. Where GUID is an actual new guid. We could also add an optional parameter as the extension and if no extension is specified just assume .txt

for example 5d4f5989-ece0-4adc-a8e6-4389c0b688d9.txt

Null Cipher - Complete

The null cipher code needs to be completed, right now it reads a file but doesn't do any processing.

Black Jack - Complete hand computation

In black jack we need to deal with aces (1 or 11) in hand computations.
