1. enemy is a type. In the declaration and definition you should have something similar to what you have on line 217.

2. Please get rid of those gotos and use functions instead. Please? :/

ASCII14 (44)
By the time you read this I had already gotten rid of the gotos, but what do you mean in the declaration and definition?


void battle(???)

what do I put in there?
Albatross (4553)
Something similar to what you put on line 217: an object declaration.

what if i want the function to pass any one of my 'enemy' class and not just enemy dummy!?
Ispil (788)
Well, the function already takes any enemy. You're just specifically passing it dummy in that instance. You could rename it to anything, and it would work all the same. You could create two, and call the function twice while passing either. It would work all the same.

I made some corrections to your code so it runs.
I also broke up most things into functions and added several member functions to your enemy class. Note the effect on the length of the main() function. It is now just 10 lines long!

Some things for you to consider...

thanks fun2code, but you turned the navs into enemies, which i hadn't wanted. They're the choices for the main character.

Sorry. I couldn't distinguish between them. From a programming perspective, each is a collection of 6 integer values. It seemed logical to use the class you created to represent each.

EDIT: Perhaps until there is some difference between them you could use an enemy instance for each? Semi-appropriate as each is an enemy of the other?

That's great. Is it working as desired?
I see you renamed the class from enemy to nav.

Where are you getting the sleep() function? I changed it to Sleep() because it wouldn't compile on my (windows) system. Evidently it works on your system.
giblit (3750)
He might be using linux it is lowercase sleep for linux and uppercase on windows.

You left out the function definitions for nav::INIT(), bug::display() and bug::INIT(). Compare to the earlier code where definitions are provided for all 3 member functions of the enemy class.

Try to put a bit more time into learning the language before jumping into making a game. This effort will payoff very well.

@giblit. Thank. I figured sleep() is probably a unix thing. A little research turned that up. I was puzzled as to why no #include is needed for it.

thanks, fun2code.

I'm teaching myself by making a game and learning along the way, and I'm also reading a C++ book bit by bit.
