    Help on Improving

    Hello, I am new to this forum, and I am interested on making games. I have started with making a board game or something similar to it. Can someone help me improve it, and give me ideas for making more chanllenging?? Please.


    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <ctime>
    #include <cstdlib>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main() {
    
    cout<<" THIS IS A BOARD GAME, PLAY WELL GRASSHOPER"<<endl;                                         
    
    int die;
    const int LOW=1;
    const int HIGH=6;
    
    time_t seconds;
    time(&seconds);
    srand((unsigned int)seconds);
    die=rand()%(HIGH-LOW+1)+LOW;
    cout<<"Do you want to roll first?"<<endl;
    int first_player=0;
    int second_player=0;
    char answer;
    cin>>answer;
        switch(answer)
        {
        case 'y':
        cout<<"You roll a "<<die<<" , you move "<<die;
        cout<<" space(s) on the board"<<endl;
        first_player+=die;
        break;
        case 'n':
        cout<<"You choose your opponent to be first"<<endl;
        cout<<"He rolls a "<<die<<" . He moves "<<die<<" space(s) on the board"<<endl;
        second_player+=die;
        break;
        default:
        cout<<"Terminating Program"<<endl;
        cout<<"Error Occured"<<endl;
    	}
    	switch(answer)
    	{
    	case 'y':
    	cout<<"Now is the turn of your opponent"<<endl;
    	die=rand()%(HIGH-LOW+1)+LOW;
    	cout<<"He rolls a "<<die<<" , he moves "<<die<<" space(s) on the board"<<endl;
    	break;
    	case 'n':
    	cout<<"Now is your turn"<<endl;
    	die=rand()%(HIGH-LOW+1)+LOW;
    	cout<<"You roll a "<<die<<" you move "<<die<<" space(s) on the board"<<endl;
    	break;
    	default:
    	{
    	cout<<"Error Occured"<<endl;
    	 }
    	}
    return 0;
    }
