    Yahtzee score selection

    Hey,

    I have to program the game yahtzee and at some point I have to check if the score selection is correct. It's correct if the input matches the score types and if the score isn't used already.

    the code for select score:

    Code:
    static void select_score (int scores [], int dice [])
    {
    	int i, score;
    
    	do
    	{
    		printf("Choose a free category to score your roll:\n");
    
    		for (i = 0; i < NUM_OF_ROUNDS; i++)
    		{
    			printf ("%d\t%s", i + 1, selectable_score_names[i]);
    			printf (" %s\n", check_score (scores, i) == score_used ? "(used)" : "(unused)");
    		}
    
    		scanf ("%d", &score);
    		score--;
    	}
    	while (! is_valid_score_selection (scores, score));
    
    	add_score (score, scores, dice);
    }
    
    static int game_ended (int scores [])
    {
    	return 0;
    }
    And i have to make the is_valid_score_selection.
    Also I have to use:

    Code:
    enum score_type
    {
    	unused = -1,
    	aces,
    	twos,
    	threes,
    	fours,
    	fives,
    	sixes,
    	three_of_a_kind,
    	four_of_a_kind,
    	full_house,
    	small_straight,
    	large_straight,
    	yathzee,
    	chance,
    	bonus_upper_part,
    	total_upper_part,
    	total_lower_part,
    	total,
    	num_of_scores
    };
    I hope some one can help.

    And where is the problem you're having? It looks to me like the instructor gave you an assignment with code snippets to use and you haven't put any work into it.

    We're not here to do your homework for you. Try to do it yourself and if you get stuck on a specific problem, ask us for help and we'll do the best we can to help you figure it out. However, asking us to just do the whole thing for you isn't appropriate.
    If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.
