Woot! My First Game Ever!

I've been doing C++ for about three weeks, and this is my first game ever. It's a nice little adventure game. I hope you like it.

Thats pretty neat. Suggestions:

1. Create error-checking for user input so that entering a non-integer will not crash the program.
2. When the character dies, the user should be informed.
3. "Enter the value 69 to exit the program"?! How about using system("pause"), getch(), or cin.get() to pause the program until the user hits a key?
4. A background story would be nice

Other than that, the game is pretty well done for 3 weeks of learning. I want to see more newbies create "problem solving" games like these :D Can we see the source code?

I haven't learned about getch(), cin.get(), or anything like that yet. And I wasn't too worried about a good storyline. But thanks, I'm kinda proud of it. Here's my source code. There are no comments:

Code:

It looks like your programming skill would benefit a lot if you browsed through this website: http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/

There's many things I could suggest... but there's just too many. Nothing major though.

AND USE CODE TAGS

Thanks for the site, but I do use code tags. The hyperlink to my game wasn't working, so I just gave people the address.:p

No, edit your above post (with the code in it) and enclose it in [code ] and [ /code]

Without the spaces.

I know what I'm doing. It honestly didn't work. The code tags and the address were perfect, and it didn't work.

The link you had worked, all we needed to do was right click it and hit "save target as".

As for code tags, put [ code ] and [/ code ] around your code and it should look like this:

Code:

---

#include <iostream> main() { std::cout << "HW\n"; }

---

Really makes it more readable :D
