my first attempt at a game is a simple maze where the user enters w,a,s,d to navigate through the maze. I can get 'w' to move the user's icon up but encounter problems when I try to move a different direction. Here is the code
#include <iostream>#include <cstdlib>#include <ctime>using namespace std;int main(){ float random = 0; int size1 = 40; int size2 = 40; char direction = 'z'; char maze[40][40]= {
