Here is my code for section 2 part 29.
I would like some suggestions on handling the play again function. I know this is outside the scope of the course at this point but any ideas would be appreciated. The issue is that I can seem to find a way to restart the whole game again. I tried calling main() however it doesn’t work due to in coming before the main function. The inverse happens if I move PlayAgain() after main().
I have found forums topics that offer some suggestions however they go deeper into the C++ than I’m ready for, if I can get the answer within iostream that would be ideal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For anyone interested in the bits I added that weren’t discussed in the course. (The more knowledgeable, feel free to correct me where I could have done or explained better. This is as I understand them)
PLAYER PROMPT / PAGE PAUSE
std::cout << “enter to continue…”; (you know this line)
std::cin.get(); (similar to the one used to course. .get() reads the white-space allowing you to use ENTER instead of doing nothing until you enter something)
if (true) (I used this if statement as the pause. For some reason the std::cin.get() would steamroll along, but asking the program to see if it the std::cin.get () was true would stop it cold. Don’t know if it was right but it worked)
{
system(“CLS”); ( this clears the terminal screen. The system command is classified as an OS command so I am guessing that it is built in the C++ itself where as everything else was created by outside contributors? )
}
The "\n"x 10: I did this as spacers. I figured out that my screen displays 40 lines of code so I used this to to help with the aesthetics. This works on my screen… can’t say it would work on yours. Again if there was a better way to do this, please let me know.
Lastly, if you want to run the code yourself get rid of the PlayAgain() function. Its not working. Last time I checked everything else did.
-Cheers
