Thread: again with the maze.

Ok guys this is the last thread I will post about this topic for a while. Main reason my program is due at 2:30 this afternoon. So i need some help guys. Ok heres what iv got so far;

Code:

	for (x1=0; x1<20; x1++)
			{
				for (y1=0; y1<20; y++)
				{

				 InFile >> maze[x1][y1];

 	    		 open = 'o';
       
				 mouse = 'm';
				}
			}

		nextsquare!=99;
				do
				{
				

					if (mouse+1 == open)
					{
						mouse++;
						nextsquare = mouse;
						cout << "down" << endl;
						Outfile << "down" << endl;
					}
					else
					if (mouse-1 == open)
					{
						mouse--;
						nextsquare = mouse;
						cout << "up" << endl;
						Outfile << "up" <<  endl;
					}
					else
					if (mouse+1 == open)
					{
						mouse++;
						nextsquare = mouse;
						cout << "right" << endl;
						Outfile << "right" << endl;
					}
					else
					if (mouse-1 == open)
					{
						mouse--;
						nextsquare = mouse;
						cout << "left" << endl;
						Outfile << "left" << endl;
					}

				}while (nextsquare == true);

Now im having to use iostream. The program keeps crashing I dont know why. Any help?

(I never saw your other maze thread)

How does it keep crashing?

When I start the program it prints out one of the directions and then just stops. Ok heres an example..

down

_ (thats the little underscore blinking thats all it does). O and since you havnt seen my other thread ill go ahead and fill you in. Im making a program that has to find its way through a maze. I think im doing it right but not sure. I juz added other stuff to the code heres the updated file.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

#define max 400

ifstream InFile;
ofstream Outfile;

char maze[20][20];

	int main (void)
	{

		char x = 0; 
		char y = 0;
		char x1 = 20;
		char y1 = -20;
		char x2 = -20;
		char y2 = 20;
		char mouse;
		char cheese;
		char counter;
		char nextsquare;
		char o;
		char open;

		InFile.open("maze.txt");
		Outfile.open("result.txt");
		
		cout << "This is my maze program!" << endl;
		cout << "All information will be printed to the result.txt file" << endl;


				 InFile >> maze[x1][y1];

 	    		 open = 'o';
       
				 mouse = 'm';
				 cheese = 'c';
			

		nextsquare!=cheese;
				do
				{
				

					if (mouse+2 == open)
					{
						mouse++;
						nextsquare = mouse;
						cout << "down" << endl;
						Outfile << "down" << endl;
					}
					else
					if (mouse-2 == open)
					{
						mouse--;
						nextsquare = mouse;
						cout << "up" << endl;
						Outfile << "up" <<  endl;
					}
					else
					if (mouse+2 == open)
					{
						mouse++;
						nextsquare = mouse;
						cout << "right" << endl;
						Outfile << "right" << endl;
					}
					else
					if (mouse-2 == open)
					{
						mouse--;
						nextsquare = mouse;
						cout << "left" << endl;
						Outfile << "left" << endl;
					}

				}while (mouse > 0);



				if (mouse == 99)
				{
					cout << "Maze completed!" << endl;
					Outfile << "Maze completed!" << endl;
				}
			
		
		return 0;
	}

any ideas? O and any ideas on how to make it search repetedly until the shorest path through the maze is found?
