Help with my text game?

[iNU7ko23]

Hi can anyone help me with some errors I'm getting in my program? Here is the code...
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;


bool intro(void)
string name = " ";


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{

intro(void);
return 0;
}

bool intro(void)
{
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
cout << "Hi! What is your name? \n"
cin >> name;
cout << "Hello!"<< name;
cout << "We need you to defeat the evil dragon.\n";
cout << "To do this you will need to make a great journey.\n";
cout << "And then defeat the dragon at its source!\n";
cout << "Will you accept the challenge?\n";
cout << "1) Yes. \n";
cout << "2) No. \n\n";
int reply;
cin >> reply;
return !(reply == 1);
}

and the errors...

If you could tell me what I'm getting wrong thanks!

Eh.... I just fixed it up for you:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;


bool intro();
string name = " ";


int main( )
{

intro();
return 0;
}

bool intro()
{
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
cout << "Hi! What is your name? \n";
cin >> name;
cout << "Hello!"<< name;
cout << "We need you to defeat the evil dragon.\n";
cout << "To do this you will need to make a great journey.\n";
cout << "And then defeat the dragon at its source!\n";
cout << "Will you accept the challenge?\n";
cout << "1) Yes. \n";
cout << "2) No. \n\n";
int reply;
cin >> reply;
return !(reply == 1);
}

Also.... I don't see why your using a function. Thats really unnecessary. Just copy-and-paste the code from the intro function you wrote and put it in your main function.

EDIT: One last and final word:

Please use code tags! ([code])

Splitting code into different functions can be a good way to structure code.
