This works for console, but you could implement it in C++/CLI
quite easily
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <vector>
#include <ctime>
void str_vect(std::vector<const char>* v, std::string& s)
{
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); ++i)
{
v->push_back(s[i]);
}
}
int main()
{
for (;;)
{
std::cout << "Please enter the word / phrase\n";
std::string word;
std::getline(std::cin, word);
std::vector<const char> word_split;
str_vect(&word_split, word);
int sz = word_split.size();
std::string anagram;
for (int i = 0; i < sz; ++i)
{
srand(time(NULL));
int r = (rand() % (word_split.size() - 0)) + 0;
anagram += word_split[r];
word_split.erase((word_split.begin()) + r);
}
system("cls");
std::cout << "Please guess the anagrammed phrase / word - '" << anagram << "'\n";
int max_tries = 3;
int tries = max_tries;
for (int i = 0; i <= max_tries; ++i)
{
std::string guess;
std::getline(std::cin, guess);
if (guess != word)
{
tries--;
if (tries == 0)
{
std::cout << "You have ran out of tries. The answer was: " << word << "\n";
break;
}
std::cout << tries << ((tries == 1) ? " try" : " tries") << " left\n";
}
else
{
std::cout << "Correct!\n";
break;
}
}
}
}
