Looking for pointers on my game

[starskii]

I just wrote this in the last hour, I have been plying with C++ Java and a few other languages for a long time, but I never took an official class or anything. I wish I had a class available to me in my area, I would love to take one. Y'see, everything I've learned has been from youtube videos, and I fret that I may be missing some huge technique!

This is a pretty good example of my programming skills, feel free to play it a little. :D

GLITCH FIX: Your name has to be one lowercase letter. I forgot how to make a char hold multiple characters.

Also, as a sidenote this was compiled in Dev C++
