[Xieni]

Hey homies, Im having game entrance trouble. Where it says 'Press X' if you press any other letter it skips to the end of the game... How can I keep that from happening?
Thanks

Try a do-while loop like this :

do{
cout<<"Press x to start the game : ";
cin>>answer;
}while(answer!='x' || answer!='X');

A suggestion, declare your variables at the beginning of main, its not necessary but it's good practice. Also, since answer will always hold one character, declaring it as string is not necessary, use char instead. Good luck

Thanks bro, but it wont run in my code. Where should I place it? (I have Visual Studio btw) and I am a beginner. Thanks..

answer;
cin >> answer;
 

What is the purpose of the "answer;"? Answer is also declared multiple times.

cin >> answer;
if (answer == "x")
{ ...

In answer to your question, the reason it skips to the end of the game is because you have put the entire game into the if statement above, this means that when answer is not equal to X it skips the whole thing. To stop seeing the end of the game make sure you have the correct closing braces, I think you have an extra one here:

cout << "GAME OVER" << endl;
}
}
else{
cout << "You wait at WalMart for a call from the police," << endl;

It seems like you may have copied and pasted a lot of the code and this has caused some errors, such as multiple closing brackets and multiple declarations.
