help keeping score

[ashald33]

So i have this as my code for my rock paper scissors game but apparently it need to also keep score? I am very new at this, can anyone help me out?



#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
char player1;
char player2;
char answer;

cout << "Enter R for rock, P for paper, or S for scissors and press enter\n";
cin >> player1;
cout << "Enter R for rock, P for paper, or S for scissors and press enter\n";
cin >> player2;

do
{
if (player1 == player2)
cout << "It's a tie!";
else
{
if (player1 == 'p' || 'P' && player2 == 's' || 'S')
cout << "Player 2 wins because scissors beats paper!";
else if (player1 == 'p' || 'P' && player2 == 'r' || 'R')
cout << "Player 1 wins because paper beats rock!";
else if (player1 == 's' || 'S' && player2 == 'r' || 'R')
cout << "Player 2 wins because rock beats scissors!";
else if (player1 == 's' || 'S' && player2 == 'p' || 'P')
cout << "Player 1 wins because scissors beats paper!";
else if (player1 == 'r' || 'R' && player2 == 'p' || 'P')
cout << "player 2 wins because paper beats rock!";
else if (player1 == 'r' || 'R' && player2 == 's' || 'S')
cout << "Player 1 wins because rock beats scissors!";
else if (player1 != 'p' || 'P' || 'r' || 'R' || 's' || 'S')
cout << "error, player 1, you must enter either R, P, or S";
else if (player2 != 'p' || 'P' || 'r' || 'R' || 's' || 'S')
cout << "error, player 2, you must enter either R, P, or S";
}
cout << "Do you want to play again? Enter y or n and press enter";
cin >> answer;
} while (answer == 'y' || 'Y');
cout << "Game over.";

}

It's pretty much as easy as using std::cout. Look up fstream. It's nothing hard to learn.

Save the file to the hard drive and read it's contents on the programs initialization (before your do while statement). That way you can save and load previous scores.
