    How about playing around with a new concept: arrays?

    int my_array[3];//creates 3 int variables, with index values 0, 1, 2

    my_array[0]=10;
    my_array[1]=20;
    my_array[2]=30;

    cout<<my_array[0]<<endl;
    cout<<my_array[1]<<endl;
    cout<<my_array[2]<<endl;

    Well, there are a few things wrong with your code:

    1) It does not work.
    2) It does not work.
    3) It does not work.

    Hope this helps.

    You'll have to beat me to Quake 4. Actually, mine's going to be so good, I'm calling it Quake 5.

    Anyway, loops are really easy to learn, and arrays aren't too difficult. Check out the tutorials on this site.

    You could also make a very basic text-adventure with a couple rooms.

    Just knowing a little I/O won't get you very far. Loops are really cool and fun (did I mention fun?). Check out these tutorials

    if and else aren't loops, loops are while, do while, and for.
    Code:
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
    {
         cout << i << "\n";
    }
    
    while (v1 != v2)
    {
         ++v1;
    }
    
    do
    {
         ++v1;
    }
    while (v1 != v2);
    Play with those, check out the tutorials for more help.

    int returns an integer to main(), void returns nothing to main() (or whoever called the function).

    Or did you mean int main() or void main()?
    I'm sure these people will tell you, never, EVER use void main(), only int main().

    You'll need to use nested loops. (a loop inside of a loop).
