Virtual/Cyber Pet Program

[rmg123]

I'm a beginner at this and I'm trying to make a sort of cyber/virtual pet program, I am getting really confused as to how to make it work the way I want to. I want it to have a happiness, tiredness and hunger level which can be increased by playing with it (pressing P), feeding it (pressing F) or putting it to sleep (pressing S) at any time. Then get an update on how your pet is feeling. I've made a start and used enumerated types to create the different levels of hungry, tired, happy etc. and it sort of works, but it just cuts out after feeding it and making it sleep once, i want it to continually run until the user ends game or the pet dies from lack of care? not sure if that makes sense, i can post my code if necessary? thanks for any help!

Sounds like you need a loop. I would recommend a do-while loop for this one. And yes, post your code, but please use code tags for all your code - http://www.cplusplus.com/articles/jEywvCM9/

Thank you! Okay, here is the code I have so far :

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std; 
string name; // creates variable for pet name to be stored as string
enum hunger { fed, peckish, hungry, starving, dead }; // creates all possible states for pets hunger levels
hunger currentState = hungry; // states current hunger level
enum tiredness { wide, awake, tired, falling, collapsed }; // creates all possible states for pets tiredness levels
tiredness current = awake; // states current tiredness level
char input; // creates variable to store user input as a character
int hungerhappy = 0;
int tiredhappy = 0;
int happinesslevel = 0;



string petname() // function for naming pet
{
	
	char option;

	cout << "Would you like to name your pet, Y or N" << endl;
	cin >> option; // stores user input as Y or N
	 
	if (option == 'Y') // if statement to determine pet name by user input
	{
		cout << "Enter your pets name" << endl;
		cin >> name;
	}
	else
	{
		name = "your pet";
	}
	return name;
}


int petstate() //function to determine pets hunger levels
{

switch (currentState) // creates different output for different hunger levels
{

case fed:
	cout << name << " is well-fed!" << endl;
	break;
case peckish:
	cout << name << " is feeling peckish" << endl;
	break;
case hungry:
	cout << name << " is feeling hungry" << endl;

case starving:
	cout << name << " is starving" << endl;

case dead:

	break;

}

return currentState;

}

int feed() // function to feed pet
{
	cout << "Press F to feed " << name << endl;
	cin >> input;

	

	if (input == 'F')
	{

}

int main()
{
	
				petname();
				petstate();
				feed();
				sleepState();
				sleep();
				happiness();
				update();
			system("pause");
}

Both the sleep & feeding work but the play option doesn't show for some reason? I just want the user to be able to press P, S or F at any time, not just when prompted!
