I need to write a c program that takes an input from a file (input.dat) calculates sum and average of rows and columns and displays it on screen and in an output file (result.out).

Well that's misleading ._.

[input]

input needs to be loaded from a file.

Hell, RPG Maker 2003 taught me more programming than my intro course.

KK20.
Digging up more information since 1996.

I knew it. Dynamic memory wasn't needed.

So wouldn't that be something along the lines of

float data_table[9][3];

edit 

I don't know C syntax, but I do know in C++ you don't even need to know what a pointer is to work with arrays.

Does the assignment assume a certain number of rows and columns? Or can they be any size?

And if they just went over arrays, I'm guessing they don't know pointers.

Fog of War. Still needs to be tweaked a bit, but I like how it turned out.

Yes, I know about the script and I've read through it already. It's how you want the script to work with your blue mage system. You didn't thoroughly explain conditions or go into much detail as to how it all works. I get the gist that using a specific skill and killing an enemy allows you to learn a skill or gain a stat increase. You're going to need to give me a full step-by-step example of how it all works.

Please do not fall for the "Lots of scripts = better game" mentality. It's also best to insert all the scripts you want to use together as to avoid incompatibility later on.

How's this? Replace the Easy LvlUp script with this.

# 
# Compatibility:
# 
#   98% compatible with SDK v1.x. 80% compatible with SDK 2.x. WILL corrupt old
#   savegames. May cause slight problems with following systems and would need
#   therefore slight recalibration:
#   - exotic CBS-es
#   - exotic skill systems
#   - exotic stat systems (additional stats like Wisdom, Luck etc.)
# 
# 
# Features:
# 
#   - shows increased stats and learned skills at level up
#   - animated
#   - shows EXP gain for each actor (!) only after gaining EXP after a battle
#   - more simple and less laggy than other Level Up Notifiers
#   - you can set up any sound to be played when a higher level is reached or a
#     new skill is learned (LVLUP_SE and LEARN_SE further below)
# 
# new in v1.2b:
#   - better window movement
#   - higher compatibility
#   - fixed a few "eventual" bugs
# 
# new in v1.3b:
#   - fully compatible with Tons of Add-ons
# 
# new in v1.4b:
#   - improved coding
#   - rewritten conditions using classic syntax to avoid RGSS conditioning bug
# 
# new in v2.0:
#   - completely overworked and improved
#   - now MUCH more simple than other Level Up Notifiers
#   - halved the number of lines of code
#   - much more compatible: can show increase of any stats after the battle in
#     combination with any script, just put this script below those attribute
#     modifying scripts
# 
# new in v2.1:
#   - improved coding
#   - increased compatibility with CBS-es
# 
# new in v2.1b:
#   - fixed "stack level too deep" problem
# 
# new in v2.11b:
#   - fixed crash during escape
# 
# 
# Instructions:
# 
# - Explanation:
# 
#   This script will notify you when any character is leveled up after a
#   battle. It will show any stats that were increased and any skills that were
#   learned. The windows are animated, the code is less complex than any other
#   so far and it is most efficient as well as highly optimized and detailed
#   worked out.
# 
# - Configuration:
#   
#   There are a few options you can set up below.
#   
#   LVLUP_SE            - sound effect played when a new level was reached
#   LEARN_SE            - sound effect played when a new skill was learned,
#                         keep in mind that the script takes into account that
#                         skills can only be learned after a level up
#   WINDOW_BACK_OPACITY - set this value to the window's back opacity (0-255)
#   NO_EXP_DISPLAY      - set this value to true if you want to disable the EXP
#                         gaining display in the level up windows
#   OLD_EXP_DISPLAY     - set this value to true if you want to display the EXP
#                         in the normal result window again
#

Good luck. Working with two, powerful scripts in two different projects is a challenge, especially on your own.

[Osmosis and Damage MP]

Absorb = {81 => 10, 82 => 25, 83 => 40, 84 => 60, 85 => 100}

That's how you're supposed to configure it, not by creating extra variables 'absorb_ten', etc. That's the only thing you touch in the script. Leave all the other things below it alone.

As for absorbing SP, that would be in Osmosis and Damage MP, configured much the same way.

No one can help you with your blue mage script if we don't even know how your skill leveling works.

First you ask for TBS, now you want to work with BABS? 

Best way to do this would be Common Event, check actors' x/y coordinate, and check if over a specific terrain tag. If so, apply damage. Add a Wait in there to put some delay in between the damage.

GubiD is infamous for his TBS. Granted it's a little tricky to set up, but it's pretty awesome in design.

And nonsense, you can configure your actors/weapons/other things with any system--just need to know how to modify the configurations.

Unique Blue Mage System: Erm...still not 100% sure as to how it should be done. For one, you didn't really explain "eating" skills.

Elementals: So...another battle command? These elementals don't have stats, do they?

Spoiler: ShowHide

It's nice to see a bunch of new members coming along. Enjoy your stay here~

And from the looks of it, I'm probably going to be the one doing some of those script requests of yours. You should make a new topic in the Projects board. This place is more of a "Hi my name is ___ and I am working on ___. blah blah personal information blah". 

Thanks for the input.  I briefly talked about this with him again, but the UCLA/USC game along with a party is taking him away from me. Tomorrow we'll go into greater detail.

The reason he wants this is because of the company's transition to working with Windows rather than Macs. The program used to create these prints were from the Mac, and we have no way of getting the prints on Windows. Not to mention it would make organization easier/finding the exact print faster. This program he wants is entirely for his own personal/company's use, not for customers.

He explained what he meant by drawing on the prints. If you look at the image I provided, the gray shape near "Beveling Details" can sometimes change, but I figure you can save the various shapes and call upon the one you want. Overall, if I just have the templates of each type of pipe, I can create any size and any schedule of that type (because having a file for every type of size, shape, and schedule is ridiculous when the only difference is usually the numbers).

We both never heard of CAD software, so we're not sure if that's what we want yet. I'll be sure to explain in greater detail once we go over this again.

My dad works at/runs a pipe-fitting company. It manufactures and ships its products to clients. But we don't care about that right now...this is the programming board after all.

Anyways, here's one example of one of the types of pipes he sells.

Spoiler: ShowHide

Note that this is only a shape. We can have pipes that fit nicely in the palm of your hand to straining your back to lift one up.

My dad wanted me to create some kind of program that allows him to input numbers at specific areas on the prints (you can see that with all the arrows pointing everywhere). Also, I need to be able to write text vertically (aka rotate it 90 degrees; you can see the rectangles on the right where I'd write it at). Essentially the program can do this:

>> What shape do you want?
>> What size?
>> What material? (upon selection, fills in the data areas with the default numbers)
>> Allows editting the numbers (and possibly drawing on the print, depends if this is easy)
>> Print
>> Ask to save the design

Visual Basic sounds like the best solution so far (mainly because of all that UI you can get). But I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do nor do I know how I'm going to implement this yet. I'm still trying to understand what he means by editting the print, but it sounds like he wants to be able to draw lines or something on it. Looking for any suggestions or ideas. Thanks.

Hmmm...I'm not sure if this would be good enough to throw into the script database. I could make it a tutorial/guide since it is more eventing and manipulating the BlizzABS configuration.

I'll look into it
