}Score system
Author
so here i am again at the end of another chapter and i am stuck yet again. i need to add a scoring system into a "word jumble" game and i know where to start =\
Author
i have a basic idea but i dunno what to do with it.
const int score = 0;
enum points {wall = 4, glasses = 7, labored = 7, persistent = 10, hint = -5};
Can't recall if enums are classed as ints or unsigned ints, if unsigned then that -5 for a hint will cause problems. It looks likr your calculating the score based on the length of the word. Since your using std::string you can do:
int totalScore = 0;
int hintPenalty = 5;
int wordScore = theWord.length();
totalScore += wordScore;
or if you use a hint
totalScore -= hintPenalty;

thanx, that was so simple sometime i think if i can really do this 
press on i guess thanx again
press on i guess thanx again

hey iv got the points to work but i dunno how to get the hint penalty to work properly can you help please?
if (hintUsed == true) {
totalScore -= hintPenalty;
}
// where hintUsed is a flag set to true when a hint is used
totalScore -= hintPenalty;
}
// where hintUsed is a flag set to true when a hint is used
Author
if (hintUsed == true) {
totalScore -= hintPenalty;
}
// where hintUsed is a flag set to true when a hint is used
aaaa thanx i guess i just need to practise using all of these values coz i keep forgetting about them
