Zombie game script failing

[tillo25]

I've been writing a simple text-based zombie survival game. very simple if your experianced. one big concept is meals. when you go out and scavenge, the meals you find will be deposited into your meal inventory. when i do this though, the meals don't deposit, and if your meals go into the negative, you die. so if i collect 9 meals, i'm supposed to be able to stay inside for 9 nights without dying. i will die on the first night.

here is the code... im sorry about posting it all, but my problem (i assume) would be where the random_integer is added to the food. at line 129 (under void scavenge) is my assumed problem. i dont get any errors though!

#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

void Start();
void Die();
void Scavenge();//while scavenging, there is a small chance ur attacked by zombies
void Items();
void Attack();
void Fight();
void Flee(); //you flee, you will lose ALL your supplies, but no chance of dying
void Camp(); //camp acts as a main overveiw
void CampFail();
void Night();//after you do your scavenge or fight. it also updates the game
void Morning();
void Start();
void StartFail();
void WinFight();
void Starve();
void README();

int start;
int choice;
double food;
double random_integer; //newfood is randomized while scavenging

Your have a for loop in your Scavenge function. I'm not sure the purpose of it, especially considering it doesn't do anything, so you could remove it. You simply just need to have the one assignment, you don't need to loop it. And your error is the line if(food = 0) because this line assigns your food equal to zero, it doesn't compare like you want it to, and will always return true.

Next time, please use the [code][/code] tags around your code to make it more readable for use please.

thanks, and i will try to
