I've been studying VC++ for about 2 months, and I was working on my first game from a book (Game Programming All In One)
The game is 'Craps', it's a dice game. Anyways, I've had a few prolems with the codeing, can someone help me? (Windows 32 Console)
Here is the game....


Code:

I've had a few problems with this book already, it's about 2 years old or so, it uses an older version of c++ and there has been some
modifications over those few years. ANYWAYS!!! I need help, here are the errors!


c:\Projects\Craps\Craps.cpp(151): error C2065: 'MoneyEarned' : undeclared identifier
c:\Projects\Craps\Craps.cpp(95): error C2601: 'DoDiceThrow' : local function definitions are illegal
c:\Projects\Craps\Craps.cpp(123): error C2601: 'DoMoneyCalc' : local function definitions are illegal
c:\Projects\Craps\Craps.cpp(26): warning C4244: '=' : conversion from 'unsigned long' to 'short', possible loss of data
__________________

Well I got it to compile and run.

Here's the errors that I found:

Your function prototypes didn't match the function's return type in it's code. (Aka, return a short but prototype says it returns void.)

You didn't close all functions with braces. Forgot a few :-P

You closed the switch statement with a brace but didn't open with one.

Other than that it's all good. One thing that I would change, not bad code just style, is to not use tab in the parameter list of a function and don't use it inside strings unless needed.

Here's the output from the console and I think you'll see what I mean about tabs in strings. It makes it hard to read.

Welcome to Craps 1.0

 Here are the rules:

You have 1000 dollars to start  gambling.

There are three types of bets.  You     can     bet     on:

  - 2 and 12 which      will give you the ratio of 5 to 1 if you win.
  - 4 and 10 which      will give you the ratio of 2.5 to 1     if you win.
  - 6 and 8 which will  give you the ration     of 1.5 and 1 if you     win.

The minimum amount      of money you can bet is 10 dollars and
 the highest amount     of money you can bet is 100.

Have fun playing!

You have :      1000    dollars.

Enter a type of bet ( 1 = '6/8',  2 = '4/10',   3 =     '2/12':

Other than that, nice job overall!

Thanks! ^^ I'm still having some issues with it, but it was just a test!

I saw the following in your code:

- You're missing the closing parenthesis of GetBet(void)
- You're also missing the opening parenthesis on the switch(Bet) in DoMoneyCalc()
- You are using break; break; in the switch(Bet) statement, you only need 1 break;
- Also in the switch(Bet) you have default; but you need to use default: (notice the : )

You should add main() type int

#include <iostream>                                        // Includeing Headers
