Loops and functions.

For example, write a print stat function for whenever you need to print the stats.

Or for a more OO aproach, make the stats a class, and have a print meathod.

Or overload the << operator.

Code:

class myClass {
    public:
        std::ostream& operator << (std::ostream& os, myClass& mc) {
            os << a << ' ' << b << std::endl;
            return os;
        }
    private:
        int a, b;
};

Something along these lines. I haven't done this in a while.

You need to learn the 80/20 rule. One application is, "If your program does anything useful 80 lines of code accounts for 20% of what it does." You can not apply this literally, but as we've been saying you can not expect every application or game to work in <100 lines of code. In fact, most don't.

eh? WTF are you talking about? the 80/20 rule states that 80% of the execution time will be spent in 20% of the code (although in reality it's often closer to 90/10).

The 80/20 rule has many applications, but I bended the principle to say what I wanted to say. I explained what I was talking about. And 90/10 is improper.

edit: I dp not intentionally give wrong advice. I'm wrong a lot. However, I simply have to explain things in a different way because thinking is hard.
