One of the rules on this site is: Do not post homework problems expecting a quick answer without showing any effort yourself.

What do you have so far?

i have everything created but the loop. i am cannot creat a loop to cycle through play once 1 is entered or go to rules once 2 is entered and return to main menu...I have worked hard (all nighter) and am at work now still working on it. i've spent about 10 hours on it and am stuck

Answer 1: The rules section needs "x = 0;" after the "you lose" line.
Answer 2: The "play" section should add "to return to main menu type %d", ... menu
Other comments:
The "for" statements are wrong, the logic inside looks like they should be if's.
All occurrences of x == -99, 0, 1, 2 should be replaced by the constants, e.g.
if (x != quit)
In the statements like (x != quit && x == menu), the (x != quit) is redundant, it is implied by (x == menu)
Single-letter variable names are a bad idea, use longer, self-explanatory names, such as "menu_selection" instead of "x".
The main menu does not need option 0: main menu, which goes back to itself.
The main menu is duplicated; delete the first copy and the code works the same.
