I'm trying to piece together a program that simulates a race. There are a few different events that could happen each 'round,' so I have a random number that needs to be updated every round (and while loops to determine what happens in the case of each).
I'm aiming for one round per second (and therefore, a new random number every second).
I am getting frequent error messages to the effect of "Unexpected unqualified id before 'while'." I've tried to fix this by putting the while loops in public classes, but to no avail.
I know I can't just do things, and that the loops need to be in a function of some sort, but as I'm still not fluent in C++, I'm having an issue fixing that issue. How can I go about that?
Should it help, the error is occurring in Dev C++.
My code in its current state is below (extraneous bits like the victory conditions have been left out).
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91
