hello;
i've been programming with c++ for about 2 months, BRAND new at this, im currently making a text based RPG for one of my programming classes. im having trouble with a error that comes up, and no one in my class can find out what exactly is the problem...
what exactly this code is doing: it is making a 15X15 map on the screen, with an "X" for where your current position is.
error:
o:\ics3u1\cpp\tasks_jonathanyoung\textbaserpg\main.cpp(192): error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before ']'

NOTE: this error occurs from lines 184 to 198.
NOTE: this is only one function of about 25.... i didnt want to post the whole code so not all includes may be needed.

ouch that hurts my eyes. WHY aren't you using loops ?

do
{
    for(int i = 0; i < 15; i++){
            cout<<"|";
          for(int j = 0; j < 15; j++){
               cout<<intmap[i][j];
             }
           cout<<"|";
         }

   //rest of you code for input
}while(true)

Your teacher would fail you if she had seen that. make change ASAP.
