I was already thinking along ARKoenig's suggestion and revised my code to use arrays.
It was working pretty well until I made some minor changes. Now it loops non-stop without any prompt for the player to make a play. I am sure it is a small error, but I can't see it. I don't remember the changes I made just before it started looping continuously. I hope someone else's eyes can see it. Here is my new code. Thanks in advance. I apologize in advance for less than ideal indentation.

    rooms[3][0] = 100;   // initialize the current room number at 100.
int flag = 0;
int play = 0;

I have no idea what is going on there, but if it is in an infinite loop then flag is never getting set to 1.

I STRONGLY suggest breaking a lot of this code out into functions. I.e.

void GenerateRandomNumbers(int rands[][])
{
	    rands[i][0] = 600.0 * rand()/RAND_MAX;    // for the room number.
	    rands[i][1] = 100.0 * rand()/RAND_MAX;    // for the wumpus.
	    rands[i][2] = 100.0 * rand()/RAND_MAX;    // for the pit.
	    rands[i][3] = 100.0 * rand()/RAND_MAX;    // for the bat.
}

It looks like you have have at least 5 or 10 of this size functions. Then your main function should be easy for us (and you, more importantly) to follow:

main()
{
  getInput();
  while(some condition)
    {
    doSomething();
    doSomethingElse();
    if(a condition)
      {
      doAnotherThing();
      }
    }
}

I found my error. I am not sure what it was exactly but I suspect it was related to a conflict in types. When I made changes I think it resulted in ints mixing with doubles. After I made additional changes, the problem resolved itself.

Yes. Other have suggested using functions as well. I am working on that now.
