ifs for pointers?

[Aliaks]

Just wondering if something like this,

    if (NewUser.location = &rooms[1])
{
        some function
}

Would fit into this,

	while (1)

{

        // Display the players location and possible movements.

		cout << "------------------\n" << endl;
		cout << "Location:   " << NewUser.location->name << endl;
		cout << "\nDescription:\n\n" << NewUser.location->description << "\n" << endl;
		if (NewUser.location->north)
			cout << "(N)orth to: " << NewUser.location->north->name << endl;
		if (NewUser.location->south)
			cout << "(S)outh to: " << NewUser.location->south->name << endl;
		if (NewUser.location->east)
			cout << "(E)ast to:  " << NewUser.location->east->name << endl;
		if (NewUser.location->west)
			cout << "(W)est to:  " << NewUser.location->west->name << endl;
		cout << "(Q)uit" << endl;

		// Get input and decide where to go next.

		char input;
        string inputString;

        getline(cin,inputString);	        // Grab everything in the buffer, even if it's more than one character.

        input = inputString[0];	            // Only use the first character, discard the rest.

		if (input == 'q')
			break;

                cout << quizMaster.poseQuestion().c_str() << endl;
                getline(cin, answer);

		if (quizMaster.isCorrectAnswer(answer))
    {
                	cout << "Thats right" << endl;

			if (input == 'n' && NewUser.location->north)
				NewUser.location = NewUser.location->north;
			if (input == 's' && NewUser.location->south)
				NewUser.location = NewUser.location->south;
			if (input == 'e' && NewUser.location->east)
				NewUser.location = NewUser.location->east;
			if (input == 'w' && NewUser.location->west)
				NewUser.location = NewUser.location->west;
    }

    else
            {
            cout << "Better luck next time !" << endl;
            }

}

to add a bit of functionality into my game

Assuming you remember to change = to ==, and the name "rooms" is visible.
