Please don't start telling cj270608 about classes and suchlike yet, he is still cannibalising the very basics of procedural c++ usage at the moment, and will be far better equipped to deal with that in a few projects time...
At least wait until he has learnt what a function is...

@cj270608: Does your current source compile successfully? especially when you are starting you should try to write a few lines, then compile, and test. Then repeat until you have a full program, otherwise when you are finished writing and try to compile you will have so many errors that you will never be able to cope with them by yourself! Will still be around here if you get stuck on sthing.

Sorry, was just trying to help. :(
I went back and reread his 'coding' and well, it doesn't look like any of those examples would compile and he keeps adding more. Strange. It also seems he hasn't created any functions so classes will be way beyond him. Well an example is there for him once he gets a grip on functions and input/output.

Get rid of won, or lost. you only need one. If its easier for you to understand, call that variable gameover.
gameover = False
then: while(!gameover)
there is no reason to check to see if they player has lost, once he has won, or won once he has lost.
For the enemy, just get a random number within range of the number of options the enemy has.
i.e. if all he can do is Stomp, Fireball, or Pump, get an integer between 0 and 2.
0 = stomp, 1 = fireball, 2 = pump. Now, if the option 1 comes up, make sure he has enough MP to cast the spell, if he doesn't you could skip his turn and say enemy tried to cast a spell but didn't have enough MP. OR, and this would be better imho, if the option fireball comes up and he doesn't have enough MP to cast, then get a new random number until the option isn't == 1. Then he'll stomp or pump instead of doing nothing.

All very good, but where abouts should I put it? I want it to loop back to the start of the player's turn once the enemy's turn has finished
Put a larger loop around both your playerturn loop and your monsterturn loop
so
so
int main(){ //do initialising stuff bool playerWon = false; bool gameOver = false; while ( true != gameOver ) { bool playerTurnOver = false; while ( false != playerTurnOver ) { // do your player turn bit here } if ( /*monster hp is zero*/ ) { gameOver = true; playerWon = true; continue; } bool monsterTurnOver = false; while ( false != monsterTurnOver ) { // do your monster turn bit here } if ( /*player hp is zero*/ ) { gameOver = true; playerWon = false; continue; } } if ( playerWon ) { // print victory text here } else { // print losing text }}Quote:Original post by dmatterQuote:Original post by Mercy84
In the standard for the language you've decided to code this game in, C++, main is declared int.
So make sure you put return 0; at the end of your main function to indicate to the calling process that the program exited happily.
It is legal to omit the return 0 in main.
Only if you declare main as returning void (e.g. void main() {...}). The OP declared it as an int.

No, the declaration void main is not legal. But omitting the return 0 statement is legal; that is explicitly stated in chapter 3.6.1 of the standard.

I find that very hard to believe. Have you actually tried it? EDIT: Nevermind. It should work. My bad.

Try doing something similar to what you did for the player's turn, but instead of getting feedback from the player via cin, instead use rand() to determine the enemy's choice each round. Just place the code right after the player's code - it'll loop back by virtue of the while loop already in place.
P.S. I hope you're giving credit to the kind people here who helped you out. :)
