Develop a simple C++ memory puzzle game. The description of the game is as follows:

A board has 4 by 4 overturned cards. There is a pair for each card. The player flips over two cards. If they match, then they stay overturned. Otherwise they flip back after 3 seconds. The player needs to overturn all the cards in the fewest moves to win.

This is a console game. Use the alphabetical letters from A to H as cards. Whenever the game starts, the cards are randomly shuffled. The sample output looks like:

XXXX

Choose two cards (or 'q' to quit the game): 0 0 1 3

AXXX XXXB XXXX XXXX

XXXX

Choose two cards (or 'q' to quit the game): 0 0 3 1

AXXX

XXXX

XAXX

Choose two cards (or 'q' to quit the game): 2 1 0 2

AXHX XXXX XEXX XAXX

AXXX

XXXX

XAXX

Choose two cards (or 'q' to quit the game): 3 3 1 0

Congratulations! You solved the puzzle in 21 moves.

The four numbers that the player chooses are the coordinates of the first and second cards.

When two cards do not match, they show their contents for 3 seconds and then are flipped back to X’s (the back sides of the cards). In order to use this 3-second timer, refer to the following example:

COMP1230 – Assignment/Lab Exercises – page 2

#include "stdafx.h"

#include <iostream>

#include <thread>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

for (int i = 0; i < 60; i++)

{

this_thread::sleep_for(1s);

cout << i << endl;

}

In order to clear the console screen, use system("CLS");

The player can quit the game anytime by typing “q”.

When the game is over, hold the console screen using system("pause");

In order to get the screenshot of the game progress, comment out system("CLS");

Unfortunately, I do not have Visual Studio but I will provide you with a working c++ code that you can run either in Linux or any windows IDE. Also please forgive me but I have not used the sample code given by you to stop the execution time for some seconds if the selected cards do not match. I will post some screenshots of my console output and I think the game works in the same way and the output is also produced in the same manner as suggested in the question. I have not deviated from it. My code will contain all the required and important documentation so any explanation over here I think would not be much necessary. Here goes the code (with necessary documentation) and the output screenshots after that.

#include <bits/stdc++.h> // imports all the necessary header files

#define ll long long int // all data types are in 64bit just for being in the safe side.

using namespace std;

vector <char> v;

int main()
{
   /*
       here i am storing all the characters from A to H in a vector twice because
       you need two of them and then i shuffled them randomly and also created a
       puzzle matrix and a visited matrix. The puzzle matrix stores the randomly
       shuffed vector of characters and visited marks the set of cards that are already
       the same and the player has selected. That is vis[i1][j1] = true and vis[i2][j2] = true
       denotes that the player has found out that the cards at (i1, j1) and (i2, j2) are the
       same.
   */
   for(char ch = 'A'; ch <= 'H'; ch++)
   {
       v.push_back(ch);
       v.push_back(ch);
   }
   srand(time(0));
   random_shuffle(v.begin(), v.end());
   ll sz = v.size();
   char puzzle[4][4];
   ll vis[4][4];
   for(ll i = 0; i < 4; i++)
       for(ll j = 0; j < 4; j++)
           vis[i][j] = false;
   ll r = -1, c = 0;
   // here i am transferring the values from the vector v to the puzzle matrix.
   for(ll i = 0; i < sz; i++)
   {
       if(i % 4 == 0)
       {
           r++;
           c = 0;
       }
       puzzle[r][c] = v[i];
       c++;
   }
   // game starts from here
   for(ll i = 0; i < 4; i++)
   {
       for(ll j = 0; j < 4; j++)
           cout << "X";

       string inp;

       if(inp == "q") // if only "q" appears quit the game.
       {
           cout << "you have quitted the game" << endl;
           break;
       }
       moves++;
       ll x1 = inp[0] - '0'; // zeroth element is the first row
       ll y1 = inp[2] - '0'; // second element is the first column
       ll x2 = inp[4] - '0'; // fourth element is the second row
       ll y2 = inp[6] - '0'; // sixth element is the second column

I hope I explained the code clearly and the output is in the form suitable towards you. However if any kind of doubt still arises from your side regarding the code or the output, just leave a comment down below and I will be more than happy to help you out any time. Just ask me and I am there to help. If you think I did justice to your question give it a thumbs up. It means a lot. Thank you.
