Nevermind ive done it now.
What i did was make a new function..............
Then i added this to the main function..........Code:int quitGame() { int quit = 0; char buffer[ BUFFER_SIZE ]; if ( strcmp ( buffer, EXIT_KEY ) ) { quit++; } return quit; }
Now all this has led to a new problem, now when i start the program any key i press quits the game. Any ideas on how to stop this from happening?Code:if ( quitGame() == 1 ) { printf ("\nThank you for playing!"); continue_game = 0; }
However, quitgame just compares some random data held in "buffer" to the EXIT_KEY value. Highly unlikely to ever become true (random in this case isn't random in the sense that it's a good source for random numbers, but rather random in the sense that it is not known, and will vary depending on a number of different circumstances - but it's highly likely to never be EXIT_KEY).
Perhaps you'd like to sayCode:quit++;
Code:quit = 1;
Also, strcmp returns 0 for a match, and other numbers for non-equal result, so it's very likely that you ALWAYS return 1 from this function.
