repeating a function

ok, so I have my function (int main () ) run, then it works, but how do I get it so it repeats?

i've just put a while (bool = true) loop, around the contents of it (while the condition being true, until your lives are all gone)

now, how do I get it to remember players_points (the integer)

each time, it keeps resetting to 1! (i know, why, just not how to fix it)

step 1: read the loops tutorial.
step 2: post your code.
*edit* you can declare (and initialize) the variable before the loop. You probably are initializing it at the beginning of the code block within the loop.*edit*

Thanks, worked great!
