Thats only part of the output, but the patterns continue the same way. There are several issues here but :
1). I shouldnt have to answer y (or n) twice to make it continue (or not continue).
2). When I tell it to continue it should continue with the same player
3). When I answer no to continue it should switch to the other player.
4). Whenever the player switches it should give a cumulative total for the rounds played.

For now I just want to figure out how to answer the question once and make it switch players.
This may be a potential problem line of code:

Code:

---

}while (status == 1 && (turnAgain(status) == 'y'));//end roll loop2 - while player continues roll

---

I just added the "status ==1 &&" to it. before I added that to it I could answer yes to the continue question all day and it would just keep asking it over. If I answered no, it would end the game after asking it a second time.

Can anyone give me any hints as to how I should fix this?

Thanks a bunch

//quote]

ok thats a good hint tabstop. I hadn't thought of that. I can see why it would do that if you answered n/n but why does it do that for y/y? Can you give me any hints how to fix this to make it do the roll loop again/or for next player?

Thank you so much,
crazychile

You'd have to post the actual code you're using to get better answers. For one, you're missing <time.h>. For two, if you actually run it, this is what happens:

Code:

---

Welcome to the game of Pig. Would you like to view the rules? (y or n)?
n
Player 1:
Die 1 is a 4.
Die 2 is a 2.
Player 1, your roll totals 6 points.
TURNAGAIN Would you like to risk the points for this round and continue? (y or n)? n
TURNAGAIN Would you like to risk the points for this round and continue? (y or n)? n
Player 1, your total at the start of this turn was 0 .
Your total at the end of this turn is 6.

Play another game (y or n)? n

---

I'm not sure I understand. All of the code was included with the post.

Why do I need time.h? Is that for the randomness of the dice?

Thank you,
crazychile

You can't do time(NULL) without time.h.

And the code you posted does not display the behavior you claim it does. Two n's immediately end the game, and y's do nothing but ask again. Edit: Oh, and any positive score for player 1 ends the game. And I bet your inner do-while loop doesn't end where you think it does, either.

Ok this is weird...youre right. I get the following output:

Code:

---

Welcome to the game of Pig. Would you like to view the rules? (y or n)?
n
Player 1:
Die 1 is a 5.
Die 2 is a 5.
 Player 1, you rolled a double 5!
  That's worth 20 points.
TURNAGAIN Would you like to risk the points for this round and continue? (y or n)? y
TURNAGAIN Would you like to risk the points for this round and continue? (y or n)? y

I didn't think I had changed the code since the original post. I have also noticed that sometimes when I tell it I dont want to play again, it does anyway. Is it possible that the status that triggers the while is alternating based on the number of times I answer the question?

                        "If a 1 is rolled, that player's turn ends and no points are earned for the round.\n"

I'll include time.h on it this next time also.

thanks a bunch

gameAgain(1) doesn't change the status of answer, so who knows what that's going to be.

Code:

---

{//Begin roll loop1
                       
                        do {  //Begin roll loop2

---

That's missing.
Your gameOver is still broken.

Thank you so much!

It wont switch players now, but at least I'm getting somewhere. I commented out the gameAgain(1) for now.
