sorry i forgot to use the code tags when i posted it!!!

[misplaced]

*blinks*

without indention i won't help, but one thing that stood out is void level1(); within a switch statement....i think

edit the code with indention and provide a line number for the error

C or C++?. 'printf's' are mixed with 'cout's'; all of your variables are declared above main().  Can you not decide?

Change all of your printf's to cout's.
{
	End your cout's with 
                                 << endl; 
                                 << ends;
                                 << flush;
}

Declare your variables when you need them.
{
	C++ offers this. Its convienent and your code becomes easier to read.
	Esp. with large, complex programs.
}

Place brackets within your switch statments.
{
	For example,

	case 1:
		{
			// ...
			break;
		}
	default:
		{
			// if all else fails
		}

	Your code would become much easier to read.
	You would have found your problem earlier.
}

/// misc

Why are you using a switch() for 'choice'?
{
	If there is only 1 possible "case" for 'choice',
	then why not just use if,else?

	if (choice)
	{
		// ...
	}
	else
	{
		// ...
	}
}

Fix
{
	I don't see an ending } for switch(selecta){ ...?
	Where is your "return 0;" ?

	//

	Was switch (selecta) meant to be within switch (choice)?
}
