Hi all,
I'm new to programming and I am currently taking an intro class that is requiring me to create Wheel of Fortune in c ++.
I've made some decent head-way (I think), but I'm still far from getting this right.
Here's what I have so far:
*NOTE* The function prototypes are guideline that my professor has given us. As you can see, I haven't used all of them yet.. I'm still having trouble getting the program to execute with what I have.
//Wheel of Fortuane Program
#include<ctime>
#include<iomanip>
#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<cstdlib>
#include<string>
#include<cstring>

//=============================================================================
//Function Prototypes
int spin_wheel();
char isvowel(char guess);

void printHeading();
bool buy_vowel (int player, int score, string phrase, string& puzzle, char guess);
bool spin (int player, int score[], string phrase, string& puzzle);
bool player_turn (int player, int score[], string phrase, string& puzzle);
bool solve (int player, int score[], string phrase, string& puzzle);
