Restarting a game with new objects

Need4Sleep (570)
Finishing up on a small project i've created to improve my c++ skills. Im nearing the end and encountering some problems, after the game finishes i want to user to enter Y or N to play again. Upon entering Y the objects that have been used in the program are deleted and a goto statement returns the user to the first line of main that re-declares all variables again for another go. How would i go about doing so? would this work? If you have another way of doing so i would greatly appreciate the help! Thanks.

Here's my main.cpp(the project in whole is over 400 lines, i dont want to bother.)

do
{
 // ...
} while(Restart()) ;


Do not call mObj's destructor manually.

should this do while loop be placed outside of all the current loops i have?

EDIT: or should i put a && in the main game loop, change it to do while and run it like that? i appreciate the help!

Put everything that isn't saying thanks for playing inside the loop.

Put everything in main() other than the last two lines into a separate function.

void play_game()
{
    Map mObj(2);
    PrintOpening(mObj);
    mObj.createmap();
    mObj.SSP();
    // RESTART: 
    mObj.RefreshScreen();
    while(mObj.GetBool()){ /// MAIN LOOP(WHILE GAME RUNNING)

        // ...

    }
    mObj.cls();
    DisplayWinner(Winner); //display winner of game
}


And then:

int main()
{
    do play_game() ; while( Restart() ) ;
    std::cout << "\n\t\tThanks for playing!\n" ;
}
