Your loop is only applied to the cout/cin statement. Move the "char again; do {" up to where you want to repeat everything. Currently, you can terminate the loop by typing anything except capital Y.

i want the menu and all to repeat basically game start from the begining y to play again n to exit im pretty new to c++ and im not really getting hwhere to move it too

[Volatile Pulse]

Well just look at the syntax of the loop:

do // This says to do something
{ // This is the starting brace. Do everything in here
   // .. Do stuff
} // This is the ending brace. Do everything up until this point
while (condition); // Condition to check each time.
// If it's true, it does everything in the braces again 

So whatever you want to repeat each time should go between the { and }. This will ensure that every time that loop runs, so will that code.
