I am very new to programing. Just learned about classes today and I think those might help somwere.

All I want to do is write a program that prints out a message, gives three choices and then the user chooses among three choices and then it will print out the message determined by what choice they enter.

The screen would look like this:
.................................................. .................................................. .....
you are being attacked by a giant toad!
its size and strength are menacing,
the party is unsure about this
encounter.

1) fight
2) defend
3) flee

Press a number for your choice and hit ENTER
.................................................. .................................................. .....

All I would want right now is a way to create this and also have a way so if the wrong number was pressed it would ask again for a correct choice.

I can almost write this program EXCEPT for the part of (looping?) when a valid choice is not entered. And I guess the next step after that would be making it more than a one encounter adventure. lol

anyone one have any sugestions???
