ad&d 20d attacks

[Whizzy]

As requested by a friend in email, I wrote a a simple attack routine in a 20d ad&d style. As you all can see, I'm not a programmer. I dabble. I was trying to show how the attack is calculated, nothing much more than that. Though this code works, it is my hope that a real programmer will see what I did, and rewrite it so it is better coded.

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include "windows.h"
using namespace std;
/* 
 This routine was requested from a friend.
 Though I am not a programmer, and this could probably have been written
 100 times better from a real programmer, it does show the *basics* for
 an ad&d style attack on a monster. 
 
 Roll a 20 sided die (atdie)
 check monsters armor rating (monac)
 if atdie is greater > then destroy monster ac first
 work on monsters hit points 
 
 You can also incorporate other factors into this...
 Players physical attributes, agility, level and so on along with
 monsters agility, and so forth. It cam be as detailed and in depth
 as you like. 
 
 Of course, you should also allow the monster to attack you back.

Ok guys... have at it.
