Is this a good overall structure for a game? Or not so much?





enum game_menu_choice {PLAYGAME, INSTRUCTIONS, EXIT};



int main(void)

{



do {



game_menu_choice user_choice = get_user_choice();



switch(user_choice)

{

case PLAYGAME:

Playgame();

break;



case INSTRUCTIONS:

Show_Instructions();

break;



case EXIT();

exit(0);

break;





};





}  while(1);















}

Looks to me that's only a structure for the initial menu, and a very sparse one at that. (and ugly..please us the code tags

Looks like a good start. I would probably use a while(true) loop rather than the less common do { ... } while loop, and I'd also return from main rather than calling exit(), but these are minor stylistic issues.
