I''m working on my RPG, and the code looks fine, but it won''t run. Here''s the code: #include <iostream.h> #include <conio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> inline int Cls() { system("cls"); return 0; } struct Character { int maxmana, maxhp, strength, defence, magic, agility; int mana, hp; int experience; int damage; int damageestimate[2]; float battleinterval; char name[20]; char race[7]; char characterclass[15]; }; Character player; Character enemy; char CharacterResults() { char yn; bool done = 0; do { Cls(); cout << "Name: " << player.name; cout << "\nRace: " << player.race; cout << "\nClass: " << player.characterclass; cout << "\n\nStrength: " << player.strength; cout << "\nDefence: " << player.defence; cout << "\nMagic: " << player.magic; cout << "\nAgility: " << player.agility; cout << "\n\nMaximum Mana: " << player.maxmana; cout << "\nMaximum HP: " << player.maxhp; cout << "\n\nBattle Interval: " << player.battleinterval; cout << "\n\nWould you like to keep these stats and continue?(y/n)"; cout << flush; yn = getch(); if (yn != ''y'' && yn != ''Y'' && yn != ''n'' && yn != ''N'') { cout << "\n\nNot a valid choice.\n\n"; cout << "Press any key to continue..."; cout << flush; getch(); } else done = 1; } while (done = 0); return yn; } int CharacterMenu() { bool done; bool done2; char result; char choice; do { done = 1; Cls(); cout << "What is your name?\n"; cin.getline (player.name,21); do { done2 = 1; Cls(); cout << "Please choose a race for your character:\n\n"; cout << "1. Human: A strong physical race, in offence and defence.\n\n"; cout << "2. Goblin: Another physical race, with a powerful attack, but little grasp of" << "\n magic.\n\n"; cout << "3.

Elemental Mage: A sorceror class that can control the elements.\n\n"; cout << "4. Ninja: A strong and agile physical class that uses martial arts spells.\n\n"; cout << "5. Gladiator: Another strong physical class that uses close-range weapons.\n\n"; cout << "6.

Then you must be reading the wrong mags.
Beside the definition of RPG, there's a fact: They are far away from the quality of a Morrowind.

BTW: I love the "New concept of RPG"
Hack'n Slash "rp"games are certainly one of the oldest kind of games.

Same with Final Fantasy: Wowwww FF10 ! How original and new that concept is...

The main concept of FF may not be new but the way you play the game is new. As for the mags, all of them refer to RPGs as RPGs.

Sorry but I disagree. The mags I read doesn't refer them as RPG.

"Joystick" for example. (a french mag)

Well nm.. Everything is relative.

They''re still RPGs. Albiet, they are on different ends of a multi-dimensional spectrum. Diablo is definatly Hack-n-Slash with little story, which is what most junior high kids end up doing in their paper and pencil Dungeons and Dragons games. Final Fantasy is definatly linear, but there is story and character development, which are important factors in role playing games, if not the main factors. Diablo has statistical development, and less emphasis on actual character development.

A great book to read about the history of cRPGs and how to design them is Swords and Circuitry in Prima Tech''s Game Development series. It''s written by Neal Hallford and edited by Andre LaMothe. No coding in the book at all, just design info. I reccomend it to everyone who wants to write cRPGs.

Guys, thanks for the help!

I do what you suggested, as soon as someone explains what this std:: stuff means. I do not yet understand the :: thing.

Also, do those strings work like VB strings??

Thanks.

BTW, I am building my site, with source and everything at:
www.angelifre.com/wizard/qotf
.

So, if you''re interreted, check up the site, not built yet though.
