Thread: Scoreing System

Now that the basic elements of my program are working, I'd like to implement new features. I'm trying to put in a scoring system, by where you get 10 points for every mine you hit.

I've made a bit of test code to show my problem, basically it shows something like 4214848.

Code:

#include <stdlib.h>
int player_score;

main ()
{
    int i=5;
    while (i--)
    {
        player_score=player_score+10;
        printf("Total Score: %d\n\n", &player_score);
        system("PAUSE");
    }
}

The while and system("PAUSE") aren't in my program, just used to show my problem. Basically, I want it to add 10 everytime you hit a mine, but it shows something like this instead.

player_score is not initialized, also you're printing the address of player_score rather then the value at that address, with your printf statement, remove the address operator.

Oh, didn't know that was causing the problem.

Thank you so much.

if you want to use &(with variablename) use this

Code:

int main()
{
int *p-L,i=5;
while(i--)
{

printf("score=%i",*&p-L);
//.........
}
