RE: Simple Terminal Game C++

Hi all this is my first post. I am a beginner in C++ and i came across a topic on this forum called Simple Terminal Game posted by Novak in Jan 2012. I would like to thank you for writing and sharing this code! This is exactly the sort of program i wanted to play around with, and iv had ALOT of fun tinckering with it.

(in this program there are 2 players that can attack each other. they each have 10hp, 2 attack power and 3 potions each that raises hp by 3.)

he posted this code:

[code]
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int player1HP = 10;
int player2HP = 10;
int player1ATK = 2;
int player2ATK = 2;
int potionSTR = 3;
int potionNUM1 = 3;
int potionNUM2 = 3;
int turn = 1;

//Combat
while (player1HP > 0 && player2HP > 0)
{
system("CLS");
cout << "Player 1's HP = " << player1HP << endl;
cout << "Player 2's HP = " << player2HP << endl;

//Player 1's Turn
if(turn == 1)
{
cout << "\nPlayer 1's Turn.\n" << potionNUM1 << " potions left." << "\nY = Attack, N = Potion: ";
char player1Attack;
cin >> player1Attack;
//Player 1 Attacks
if(player1Attack == 'y')
{
player2HP = player2HP - player1ATK;
if(player2HP <= 0)
{
player2HP = 0;
}
turn = 2;
}
//Player 1 Uses Potion
else if (player1Attack == 'n')
{
player1HP = player1HP + potionSTR;
potionNUM1--;
if (player1HP > 10)
{
player1HP = 10;
}
turn = 2;
}
//Player 1 Skips
else
{
turn = 2;
}
}

//Player 2's Turn
else
{
cout << "\nPlayer 2's Turn.\n" << potionNUM2 << " potions left." << "\nY = Attack, N = Potion: ";
char player2Attack;
cin >> player2Attack;
//Player 2 Attacks
if(player2Attack == 'y')
{
player1HP = player1HP - player2ATK;
if(player1HP <= 0)
{
player1HP = 0;
}
turn = 1;
}
//PLayer 2 Uses Potion
else if (player2Attack == 'n')
{
player2HP = player2HP + potionSTR;
potionNUM2--;
if (player2HP > 10)
{
player2HP = 10;
}
turn = 1;
}
//Player 2 Skips
else
{
turn = 1;
}
}
}

// Game Over - Either Player 1 wins or Player 2 Wins.
//Player 2 Wins
if(player1HP == 0)
{
system("cls");
cout << "Player 1's HP = " << player1HP << endl;
cout << "Player 2's HP = " << player2HP << endl;
cout << "Player 2 Wins!" << endl;
}
//Player 1 Wins
else
{
system("cls");
cout << "Player 1's HP = " << player1HP << endl;
cout << "Player 2's HP = " << player2HP << endl;
cout << "Player 1 Wins!" << endl;
}
return 0;
}

I have changed it a little bit.

both players now start with 100hp

Potions:
player 1's potion increases attack power by 3 points.
player 2's potion raises hp by 40

attack: player 1's attack decreases player 2's hp but also raises player 1's hp
by 2.
player 2's attack decreases player 1's hp but also raises player 2's hp
+ 7

I have also given them a new choice which is Special Attack. This gives them the option of hitting hard without healing. Each ability is slightly different.

Im not after any advice. I just wanted to show any newbies that read this how much fun they can have with very small changes to the code with a beginner will understand. Thanks again for this original post. At the moment I feel like a kid at christmas and will keep playing.
