Hey I just started computer programming and our teacher wants us to make a mud game using if and else but I am completely lost. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to help me get started? Thanks :D

Lesson 2: If statements C++. You may also want to read some of the other tutorials there as well for actually making a mud type game.
Okay, thanks so much. :D Also do you have any tips on keeping the ifs and elses in order while I do it?
Proper indentation, especially with regards to placements of your braces.Quote:

This is what I have so far (Not much at all... Sort of the structure a little bit I guess... Still trying to figure out where things go, how to fit answers in after the ifs and elses.:
Code:#include <cstdlib> 8 if 8 else
#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
string name;
int a, b, c;
cout<<"Welcome to the Dungeon of Doom."<<endl<<endl;
cout<<"Please enter your name."<<endl<<endl;
cin>>name;
cout<<endl;
cout<<"Welcome, "<<name<<" to the Dungeon of Doom."<<endl<<endl;
cout<<"You are walking down a dusty, dark forbidding walkway when you reach a set of two doors. You hearing wailing from one door and silence from the other. Which one do you choose? Enter 1 for the wailing door, and 2 for the silent one."<<endl;
cin>>a;
if (a==1)
{
cout<<"You chose the right door! You see a guard punishing a wailing prisnor, but because he is busy he does not notice you which allows you to sneak by."<<endl;
cout<<"Once you leave the room, you walk down another dark hallway with cages on both side of you. You reach a choice to enter two cages, which one do you choose? The one with the skinny old man sleeping or the one with a forbidding six foot four man. Choose 1 for the old man and 2 for the forbidding one."<<endl;
cin>>a;
if (a==1)
{
if
else
}
else
{
if
else
}
}
else
{
cout<<" "endl;
cin>>
if (a==1)
{
if
else
}
else
{
if
else
}
}
system("PAUSE");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
The switch case allows you to handle multiple possibilites easier rather than a long chain of if-else's. You can read through Lesson 5 - Switch CaseQuote:

Also there is no reason for you to have included cstdlib here, and no reason I can think of that you will need to use it for this. EDIT: and it should be #include <string>, drop the .h [/EDIT]Quote:

Um. I have been taught int and double and the string variable.... *sigh* dev c++ makes no sense to me D:Quote:
