Thread: Can't find error

I am making my first text based game. When I show the code please don't gasp at how horribly I organize my code. I know it is bad, but that isn't the issue. I checked my last function but every time I try to build and compile it, it gives me this error-
"1>c:\documents and settings\owner\my documents\visual studio 2005\projects\textbasedgame\textbasedgame\textgame .cpp(167) : error C2059: syntax error : '}'"

This shows an error on the last line of the code
here is the code:

Code:

Please help

because of your

Code:

do { }

block. you never put a

Code:

 while ( condition );

. So you are missing a ";" in your code therefore it will not compile

You forgot the condition for your do loop.

Ooops, someone beat me to it.

lol, I went over it and over it and i can't believe I forgot that. Thank you both very much. And if anyone happens to read this, could you please answer my next question.

How do I post a finished version of my game as a download file?
Would I just upload it as a .cpp file?

please help if you don't mind

either upload the source, or upload a zip file with a .txt extension, or link to an external site( although I think this is frowned upon because of broken links)
