help in a 1v1 battle sim

ixtowelie (2)
I'm trying to make a 1v1 battle sim which will make random values and generate a random health for my opponent. This should run the attacks in turns till someone hits 0 health. I can sue the current while loop to test 1 sort of, but it doesnt repeat. And if I split it into 2 while loops to test both it runs infinite times. Any help please? :s

Solved it myself! If anyone else is having a similar problem use a for(;;) loop and just break; when the character dies :)
