starwindz Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I have written a small game called Cows and Bulls (Version 0.02) using Action!. You can see the game rule in this site. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulls_and_cows Source code and .xex files are attached. cb02_src.zip cb02_xex.zip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobus Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Very nice! Thanks for the introduction, I've managed to miss out on this game my entire life! Some questions about the rules: Please see the attached screen shot - I (eventually) scored 3 bulls - which I believe means three correct digits in the correct sequence, yet the game did not end or acknowledge my brilliance. :-) Also, the article you quote mentioned that the typical game uses 4 digits - are you planning an upgrade? Anyway, nice work! Please keep writing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuel Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I'm pretty sure that the bull and cow counts are backwards from the Wikipedia article. Also a tip for players: all digits have to be different. You will get some odd looking counts if you have duplicate digits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all digits should be different. Digit checking feature will be added in the next version. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
