Thread: Help With Rock Paper Scissors Game

I'm trying to create a rock paper scissors game and I having problems having one of the strings of array to appear.
Any help is appreciated. When you hit option 2 it should atleast printf the word rock, paper, or scissors.
Here's My Code

Code:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>


int main(){
char * array [3] = {"Rock", "Paper", "Scissors"};
int randNum;
int choice;
  srand((unsigned)(time(0))); 
printf ("Welcome to Rock Paper Scissors\n");
printf("Menu\n1 = Play Rock Paper Scissors\n2 = Quit\n");
printf("Your Choice: ");
scanf ("%d", &choice);
switch(choice){
case 1:
randNum = rand() % 3;
*array[randNum];
printf("\n%s", array);


system ("pause");
case 2:
break;
}
system ("Pause");
}

Why would you expect case 2 to do anything when you immediately break from it?

Ok
I changed it based on what you said and I have the following errors

Code:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>


int main(){
char array [3] = {"Rock", "Paper", "Scissors"};
int randNum;
int choice;
  srand((unsigned)(time(0))); 
printf ("Welcome to Rock Paper Scissors\n");
printf("Menu\n1 = Play Rock Paper Scissors\n2 = Quit\n");
printf("Your Choice: ");
scanf ("%d", &choice);
switch(choice){
case 1:
randNum= rand() % 3;


printf("\n%s", array[randNum]);


case 2:
break;
}
return 0;
system ("Pause");
}

Good catch, but more accurately, you are trying to assign to an array.

You should be getting a warning from your compiler about that hinting what is the problem. Look carefully at the type of the array.

I got it working thanks!!

I do have one other problem. Im trying to put my code in a function but I'm getting errors

Code:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>




    char array[3][20] = {"Rock", "Paper", "Scissors"};
int randNum;
int randNum1;
int i;
int choice;
int playAgain;
int option;


void game(char array[int randNum],char array[int randNum1]);
 
int main(){


  srand((unsigned)(time(0))); 
printf ("Welcome to Rock Paper Scissors\n");
system ("pause");






if(option == '1')  
game(array[randNum],array[randNum1]);
if(option == '2')
printf("Goodbye");
else {
printf("\t\tInvalid Entry\n\t\tPlease Try Again");
}
          




return 0;
system ("Pause");
}


void game(array[randNum],array[randNum1]){
     randNum = rand() % 3;
randNum1 = rand() % 3;


printf("\n%s %s %s Shoot:\n\n", array[0], array[1], array[2]);
 
 
printf("\n\t\tAndy: %s\n", array[randNum]);
printf("\t\tSpencer: %s\n\n\n", array[randNum1]);
do{


printf("Do you want to play again?\n1 = Yes\n2 = No\n    Your Choice: ");
scanf("%d", &playAgain);


if (playAgain != '1' && playAgain != '2')
        printf("Invalid Entry. Please Try Again.\n\n\t");
        system ("pause");
        
          
     }
