    Linking error?

    Hi,

    I download the source code for the slotmachine from this site..but I get this error when I'm compiling..

    LIBCD.lib(wincrt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16
    Debug/SlotMachine.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

    Here's the source code,
    [code]
    /* Slot Machine Program by Joe Tchamitchian*/


    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <time.h>

    int main()

    {


    int x,a, b, c, token=4;

    srand(time(0));

    cout<<"\t***************************************** ***************\n"
    <<"\t* Welcome to slot machine. *\n"
    <<"\t* Would you like to play? (1 to play, 2 not to play) *\n"
    <<"\t********************************************* ***********\n\n";
    cin>>x;

    while(token!=0)

    {cout<<"You have "<<token<< " tokens\n\n"
    <<"Pull? (1 to pull, 2 not to pull)\n\n";
    cin>>x;




    if(x==1)
    {

    a = 1+rand() %10;
    b = 1+rand() %10;
    c = 1+rand() %10;


    cout<<"\t\t"<<a<<" "<<b<<" "<<c<<"\n\n";

    }
    else

    cout<<"OK\n";

    {

    if(a==b==c)

    {

    token+=4;
    cout<<"You win\n\n";
    }
    if(a==b || b==c || a==c)
    {
    token+=1;

    cout<<"You got two out of three\n\n";


    }
    else
    {
    token-=1;


    cout<<"You loose\n\n";
    }

    }
    }



    return 0;
    }
    [/code}

    I hope I got the tag right
    Which is the master, which is the student?

    You're trying to compile a console application in a Win32 project. Open a new project as a console application and it will work.

    My best code is written with the delete key.
