c++ Game help
I'm coding a game right now and everything works great that i want to have working right now, but there's a minor bug that i know of.
this is that when the player enters their name, and the name has spaces, the code just closes.
here's the part of code:
char name [40]; // lets the players name be up to 40 characters
int main (){
cout << "Hello, Welcome." << endl; // title screen
cout << "What do you want your name to be?" << endl;
cin >> name;
system ("cls");
cout << "Congratulations " << name << " What do you want your class to be?" << endl; // this will determine base stats
cout << "1. Warrior" << endl;
cout << "2. Mage" << endl;
cout << "3. Healer" << endl;
cin >> typeofclass;
if (typeofclass == 1){
system ("cls");
yourclass = 'Warrior';
cout << "You have chosen to be a Warrior.\n" << endl; // gives stats for this person
health = 500;
mana = 10;
str = 25;
def = 25;
}
else if (typeofclass == 2){
system ("cls");
yourclass = 'Mage';
cout << "You have chosen to be a Mage.\n" << endl;
health = 250;
mana = 50;
str = 10;
def = 10;
}
else if (typeofclass == 3){
system ("cls");
yourclass = 'Healer';
cout << "You have chosen to be a Healer.\n";
health = 250;
mana = 40;
str = 5;
def = 5;
}
else {
cout << "Sorry, thats not a right number, please try again." << endl;
}
cout << "Your Stats are:" << endl << endl;
cout << "Health " << health << endl << endl << "Mana " << mana << endl << endl;
cout << "Strength " << str << endl << endl << "Defense " << def << endl << endl;
cout << "Press Enter to continue.\n \n";
cin.ignore();
cin.get();
mainmenu();
cin.ignore();
cin.get();
}This is what I usually use:
string name;
cout << "Enter name: ";
getline(cin,name);
But you migh also wanna try cin.getline(name, 40);
If you want to limit to 40 chars. Not 100% sure it works with a string though.

ok i get that now, thanks but theres one other problem ive been having with my program, its not really a error its more of a, i cant find any tutorials on how to do it.
random numbers, ive looked online on youtube on google etc, and i cant find one that actually works, is a random number.
Include these libraries:
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
This will initialize the use of rand function:
srand((unsigned)time(NULL));
Now to generate a random number use:
int i = rand() % n
This will generate a number between 0 and n-1
So let's say you use
int i = rand() % 3i will be either 0, 1 or 2.
i was just looking on youtube and google for a good amount of time and i found this:
srand(static_cast<unsigned>(time(0)));
thats basically what you said and i also figured out i can use:
bob = rand() % 10 + 1;bob is just a example int.
and when i put the % 10 thats from 1- 10 but if i put it to:
% 10 + 1 that means it can do 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
is that right?
Thanks and I was working on my code while adding the random numbers and if you want to try it out here it is:
There's some bugs i know I'm still working on the code i just wanted to get feedback on what some people thought.
here's the code:
