I have only displayed one section of this applications output because thats the bit with a problem. As you can see the life stays the same even thought I have punched which is meant to take away 5 from there life, but it isn't. How can I resolve this problem. I have supplied you with all the source code that I have done and urgently wan't a solution so please help. The line that I think is the main for this problem is... theirLifeLineAmount = theirLifeLineAmount - 5;
The problem is you are declaring these variables at the start of the main game loop everytime.
1 2 3
int yourLifeLineAmount = 100;
//THEIR LIFE VARIABLE
int theirLifeLineAmount = 100;
So once it has finished your turn it goes back to the start here and their values get changed back to 100, ignoring whatever it was before. To solve this move those 2 variables so they are declared somewhere above the main loop so they wont get included every time.
On a side note it is generally looked down upon to go 'goto' as it can make code very hard to follow and make it harder to debug. I suggest you try using while/do-while loops instead.
It worked, thanks for the great answer. If you could, do you know how I could make the computer randomly select one of those choices as well. If not code maybe a website for a random command.
