First Game - would like help
Author
Alright, this is the first game I've ever made, I pickd up a C++ book a month or so ago, and this morning I got accepted into Westwood College to get a Bachelors in Game Software Development. Anyways, I'm having some problems with this program.
As of right now it doesn't do much. It asks for a password, then shows an info screen, then it gets into the game.
first off, passwords = "EtherealDreams" case sensitive, one word
I'll put big comments where I need the help
feel free to run it as of now

int level = 0; // not yet used
int game = 1;
GetIntro(); // shows the intro screen with the basic commands
clrscr();
while(game == 1)
{
ShowBox(level);
// calls the function to display the side of the box
GetMovement();
getchar();
clrscr();
}
getchar(); // so you can see the end result
}

You can always edit your post by pressing the edit button in the upper right corner.
As for your game I took only a brief look at your code. The only comment I will make is that you should try using a graphics API for your game. It should take you under a week to make a basic OpenGL/DirectX game. The key is to start from a premade framework. Learn how to draw and move some polygons and you are ready to go.

Alternatively you can use SDL, which might make things a little easier for you as you don't have to deal with 3D, window creation and the like.
