Add Score

closed account (oy8URXSz)
Guys, I need help. Whenever I enter "hint" and incorrect answer, my score is deducted, my problem is how to add score/money whenever I answer the word correctly. I need to add 10 pts for every correct answer.

Hi there,

You're supposedly doing that here:

//line 71
if(guess == theWord)
	    {
			players_score += 10;


Could you be more specific about what's not working - I 'm sorry I don't have time to test your code right now.

All the best,
NwN

NwN, whenever I enter the correct answer, the score doesn't change at all. Here's the complete program listing.
