I think this is what you are looking for:
Code:
// game_loop_test.c

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    // Repeat block of three printf to console three times then break

    for (int tries = 3; tries > 0; tries--)
    {
        printf("Start Game: \n");
        printf("Game Loop program");
        printf("\n");

/*       if (tries == 3) // NOT needed. The for() loop does this.
        {
            break;
        }
        tries++;
*/
    }

    return 0;
}
