cars learning to drive stick shift

[kal42]

ok so i am trying to use a tic tac toe example to build a car program that has the useer input one for the gas and two for the brake..the gas would tell the program to shit the gears up and the brake would shift the cars gear down...i would like to also like to create a board like the tic tac toe game to show the user exactly what gear they are in. but i have no idea were to start. can any body help??

Your question is really vague - what exactly do you need help with?

[kal42]

i really need help getting started i think the main would look some thing like this
int main()
cout<< "learning to drive you new car!! \n.";

car civic;
cout<<"to drive press 1 to break press 2: \n";

cout<< gas(gearBox())<<endl;//print out gas which ask the user to net 1 or 2 for gas or break but then like a car it would then ask the user like using i if or else statement were the engine would blow if the car did not shift up or down

i think this is were i should start i am trying to teach my self c++ from this tic tac toe also how tic tac toe build a board i would like to build or board or some thing to show the user what gear he or she is in..
