Dungeons & Dragons based Project

[Archangelion]

So for my final class project I decided I want to make a very basic combat simulation based VERY loosely on 5e D&D. However I'm running into issues in my brain regarding logic and how to actually code this correctly.

What I have so far is this:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int p_hp, p_ac, p_profmod, p_strmod;

struct goblin
{
int gob_hp = 21, gob_ac = 12, gob_strmod = 3;
};

struct soldier
{
int sol_hp = 40, sol_ac = 15, sol_strmod = 4;
};

struct dragon
{
int d_hp = 100, d_ac = 18, d_strmod = 5;
};

int main()
{
cout << "Welcome to the D&D simple combat processor!" << endl;
cout << "To begin, please enter the following info about your character." << endl;
player_info;

}

void player_info
{
//Character HP Entry and Validation
cout << "Character HP: ";
cin >> p_hp >> endl;
while(p_hp < 1)
{
cout << "Sorry, that is an invalid entry. Try again." << endl;
cin >> p_hp >> endl;
}
//Character AC Entry and Validation
cout << "Character AC(Armor Class): ";
cin >> p_ac >> endl;
while(p_ac < 10)
{
cout << "Sorry, that is an invalid entry. Try again." << endl;
cin >> p_ac >> endl;
}
cout << "Character Proficiency Modifier: " << endl;
cin >> p_profmod >> endl;
while(p_profmod < 1 || p_profmod > 10)
{
cout << "Sorry, that is an invalid entry. Try again." << endl;
cin >> p_profmod >> endl;
}

}



************************************

Essentially what I need to do after speaking with my professor is this:

-Take input from the user regarding their character.
-Store the info on a file.
-Have 3 Structures, each one containing the data of a different enemy.
-Make a menu asking which enemy they user wants to fight.
-Running a function that simulates combat between the player character and the chosen enemy.

Wrote this quickly hopefully it helps you. Good night :)

	int hp;
	int ac;
	int strmod;
	std::string name;

	inline void setName(std::string newName) { name = newName; }
	int getIntegerInput();
};

int Entity::getIntegerInput()
{
	int inputValue = 1;

	do

		std::cin >> inputValue;

	} while (inputValue <= 0);

	return inputValue;
}

	Player()

	std::cout << "Set " << name.c_str() << "'s HP: ";
	hp = getIntegerInput();
