Ok so at a specific point in my game, the game just shuts down. I am not sure what the problem is so I am going to throw all the source code up. Any Help is appreciated.

Ancient Dragon 5,243 Achieved Level 70

15 Years Ago

Probably because there are a lot of compile errors. Add #include <string> What compiler are you using. I used VC++ 2008 Express and it identified a bunch of errors.

AmasiVillage: contains a recursive function call which will cause a runtime stack overflow. Maybe you meant to do this:

if (choice == 7)
        {
            SaveGame();
            AmasiVillage();
        }

Same problem in function Reya()

Function CharacterOptions() was never coded.

Is this possible to do

if (location == "Amasi Village")                
            AmasiVillage();
if (location == "Reya")
            Reya();

Yes it is, if you included <string> and it's a std::string.
Did you change the thing that Ancient Dragon told you? If yes: please post you new code

It is. Trust me :)

Did you repair the other thing AD suggested? Please post your new code

the code is updated i just need my question answered, anyone?

Assuming that "the game just shuts down" still is the question, it is best if you post the updated code, so it can be given a test ride.

Is this possible to do, like an if statement for a string equaling something because thats where my problem is. The location is a string variable declared earlier, there is no errors its just that the program shuts off at this part of the code. I am using codeblocks as my IDE and the GCC compiler with it.

if (location == "Amasi Village")                
            AmasiVillage();
if (location == "Reya")
            Reya();

Ok here is the updated code, it is still doing the same thing please look at the load game function because it breaks there. It compiles fine its just when it runs. Any help is appreciated. Code Blocks is the IDE I am using btw and the GCC Compiler.

The code you posted appears to be a rather poor way of designing the file system for saving and restoring character information for your game. Why not just store everything in one file so that the data can be read back using only one file stream ? That entire function could be writtin in just three or four lines of code

void LoadCharacter()
{
    ifstream data("Character Name.txt");
    getline(data, name);
    data >> level >> experience >> health >> stamina >>
        armor >> abilitypower >> // etc. etc. for all other items
}

but how would it work so that only specific data is written to a specific variable, such as this. I need to write the First line to name then 2nd line to level and 3rd line to experience and so on. That is why I did it that way.

mitrmkar 1,056 Posting Virtuoso · Answer 8 · 2008-06-11T17:45:00+00:00

Regarding code readability, you could save a lot vertical space by changing

cout << "\n";
	cout << "\n";
	cout << "\n";
	cout << "\n";
	cout << "\n";
	cout << "\n";
	cout << "\n";
	cout << "\n";
	cout << "\n";

to

cout << "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n";

There are a couple ways. One way is just exactly like I posted before -- data is read in exactly the same order that it was written.

void SaveCharacter()
{
    ofstream data("Character Name.txt");
    data << name << "\n";
    data << level << " " << experience << " " << health << " " << stamina << " " <<
        armor << " " <<abilitypower << " " <<// etc. etc. for all other items
}

Another way is using tagged lines. Its more flexible because you can easily add more items to the file without changing the code very much -- but its more difficult to code.

Regarding code readability, you could save a lot vertical space by changing
cout << "\n";
	cout << "\n";
	cout << "\n";
	cout << "\n";
	cout << "\n";
	cout << "\n";
	cout << "\n";
	cout << "\n";
	cout << "\n";
to
cout << "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n";

Or use a string object so that the number of characters is more obvious:

cout << string(9, '\n');

If you use that a lot, you can also make a parameterized manipulator so it's even more obvious what the intention of the code is:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

class pad {
  int _count;
  char _padding;
public:
  pad(int count, char padding)
    : _count(count), _padding(padding)
  {}

  friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const pad& manip) {
    return os << std::string(manip._count, manip._padding);
  }
};

int main()
{
  std::cout << '|' << pad(12, '\n') << "|\n";
}
