    Exclamation Function Issues For Ending Program

    Okay here is my function

    Code:
    void EndGame()
    {
         cin.get();
         system("PAUSE");
    }
    this funciton is supposed to end the game wen it is triggered, but it doesnt. how do I work with it so that the game will end when it is triggered?

    Ideally you should structure your logic so that when the game ends you'll exit all loops, return from all called functions, and leave main normally.

    Your function naturally does nothing else than reads a character of input and runs the "pause" program, resuming after it terminates (any key pressed).
    I might be wrong.

    Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.
    Quoted more than 1000 times (I hope).

    I am as of right now very unsure of how to do that lol.
