Loops
Author
I am working on a text based game. I got stuck with a loop though. How can I make it loop through a section until the player wishes to go on? I am working on item shops. But I''m not sure how to loop it so that it lets the player shop again until they are finished.

Have a do{}while loop or something like that and have the 'player' type in 'q', 'e' or something if they want to Exit the shop. Or show the loop to us so we can see how you have done it.

You could do something like this...
I think this will work...
int StoreLoop = 1;int Item = 1;char choice;while(StoreLoop){ cout << "What you want to shop?" << endl; cout << "1. Axe" << endl; cout << "2. Dagger" << endl; cin >> Item; cout << "Continue shopping (y/n)?: "; cin >> choice; if(choice==''n'') StoreLoop = 0;} I think this will work...
Android_S has the right idea there, but I would put something more like this:
EDIT: Looked at my code and said 'Oops'.
That's what I would do, at least.
Curse you windows and your poor explanation of my errors!!!

while(TRUE) { std::cout<<"What would you like to buy?/n 1:Axe/n 2:Sword/n" std::cin>>Item; std::cout<<"Would you like to continue? (y/n)" std::cin>>choice; if(choice == 'n' || choice == 'N') break; } EDIT: Looked at my code and said 'Oops'.
That's what I would do, at least.

Chigaimasu-you forgot to put semi-colons at the end of the cout statements, btw thats how i would do it too, except i would use 1 instead of TRUE cuz im lazy 
edit: just saw some more errors, the newlines at the end of your (Chigaimasu's) cout statements should have a backward slash in them instead of a forward one
doh, nuts. Mmmm... donuts
