Hey guys,
Im a beginner in c++ programming, and i desperatly need some help here.
We were given a holiday project in class where we can come up with anything we want as long as its creative. So my friend and I got a wicked idea and we implemented on it. We thought we would make a c++ program which can be used to gamble on simple games. Yeah i know its nothing great, but keep in mind we're still beginners. Lol. Anyways everything was going fine till we decided to introduce hangman into it. And then things just went down. The source code for our project is given below. When we compile it, it shows as make failed and these are the errors:

Multiple decleration for 'boolean'
Earlier decleration of 'boolean'
Extra parameter in call to playGame()

This is my source code:

We have to submit the project in a couple of week so Im really desperate for help here.
Thanks.

Why are you making an enumerator for boolean ?
Can you not just use:

bool x = False;

That's probably what it's moaning about.

you declare

11  static void playGame();  //takes no parameter

but here you pass a parameter in:

33  playGame(r);
51  int playGame(int p)

Here, you could use another name,

16  enum boolean
17  {
18    False, True     
19  };

but anyway the values of True and False are not boolean rather integer values (automatically 0 and 1 because you don't assign any values).

Therefore, your code here cannot work

46  again=false;        //again can only be set to your False or True
47  cout<<"\n"<<"Your answer should be y or n.";
48  }
49  }while(again);		//so here reads as while(0)! and not the bolean false

As SgtMe wrote, you could probably get rid of the enum completely.

On a more general note; there are a lot of other issues with this code. These two points are really only the tip of the ice-berg.

@Dingbats: Oh there will be more. I hate reading inindented code. Confuses my b*lls off. ;)
