using namespace std;

int main()
{
  ifstream loadFile;
  string playerName;
  char menuDisplay;
  char selectMenu;
  char letter;
	
   //menuDisplay

   cout << "Welcome to Space Gladiator Coliseum"
		 << endl;

   while (menuDisplay);
   {
//display menu 
     
      cout << "What would you like to do?" << endl;
      cout << "(enter the letter of your choice)" << endl;
      cout << "Press 'N' - To Begin a New Game"  << endl;
      cout << "Press 'L' - To Load a Previous Game " << endl;

    switch (letter)
     {
       case'n':
       case'N':
       cout << " Please Enter Your Fighters Name: " << endl;

use a loop eg

while(1){  cout << "Enter name: ";  cin >> PlayerName;  cout << "\n";//new line  if(valid(PlayerName)) break;  else cout<<"Invalid name. Please renter.\n";}
