Help consolidating my levelling system into a more efficient form
Author
I'd like to make a levelling system past 2, and I know there is an efficient way to do it. Currently my code looks like this, and while it is completely functional until level 2, I can see that it is not the most efficient way to make a levelling system. Here is my code:
EDIT: I learned how to include a source window, so I'm doing that:
I'd like to put the levelling system into some kind of function, structure, or possibly array. I am currently refreshing my knowledge on pointers because I seem to remember somehow pointers can be used to do this.. it's just fuzzy. Any suggestions?

Instead of
while(xp < 50) { [...] }You can do
int expLvl = 1; const int MAX_LEVEL = 7; int expNeeded[] = {50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, [...]} while (expLvl < MAX_LEVEL) { while(xp < expNeeded[expLvl - 1]) { [...] } expLvl++; printf (...) }It could be cleaner to make a function which calculates the experience needed for a particular level. For example, in FallOut:
int ExpNeededForNextLevel(int CurrentLevel){ int ExpNeeded = CurrentLevel * 1000; if (CurrentLevel > 1) ExpNeeded += ExpNeededForNextLevel(CurrentLevel - 1); return ExpNeeded;}int main(){ [...] int expLvl = 1; while (true) { while(xp < ExpNeededForNextLevel(expLvl)) { [...] } expLvl++; [...] } // Infinite loop, never goes out of here}

Hi, this is what I've done so far.
I used the case method for my levelling system, although I am sure there is a more simple way to do this. Any advice?
Specifically, could I form
and
into one function somehow? That would be amazing and save alot of finger soreness.
Ok, I found a way to do it, but it only works for levels past 1, because if it's 1(0 in the array value) it sets the array value to -1, which there is no value for.
If I can get it to work for level one, I've got it!

[...] int xpneeded[] = {0, 50,100,150,200,250,300}; [...] while(xp<xpneeded[lvl+1] && xp>=xpneeded[lvl]) [...]BTW, you should initialize your variables (xp, lvl,...)
