Code: Select all
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

void frame(string& word, int& guess);


int main()
{
   string nameOne;
   string nameTwo;
   string word;
   char letter;
   int guesses = 0;
   
   bool cont = true;

   cout << "Player 1, please enter your name: ";
      cin >> nameOne;

      cout << "Player 2, please enter your name: ";
      cin >> nameTwo;

      cout << nameOne << " please enter a word: ";
      cin >> word;
      system("cls");

      string hidden(word.size(), '_');
      

   while ( cont )
   {
      frame(hidden, guesses);
      cout << nameTwo << " guess a letter: ";
      cin >> letter;
      guesses++;
      if ( guesses >= 15 )
      {
         cout << "You lose !\n";
         break;
      }
      


      for ( int i = 0; i != word.size(); i++ )
      {
         if ( letter == word[i] )
         {
            hidden[i] = letter;
         }

         if (hidden  == word )
         {
            system("cls");
            cout << "Congratulations " << nameTwo << ", you guessed";
            cout <<   " the word\n in " << guesses << " guesses !" << endl;
            guesses = 0;
            cont = false;
            break;
         }
      }
}
   /// now players two turn
   cout << nameTwo << " please enter a word: ";
      cin >> word;
      system("cls");

      string secondhidden(word.size(), '_');
    cont = true;
   while ( cont )
   {
      frame(secondhidden, guesses);
      cout << nameOne << " guess a letter: ";
      cin >> letter;
      guesses++;

      }
      


      for ( int i = 0; i != word.size(); i++ )

         }

         if (secondhidden  == word )

            guesses = 0;
            cont = false;
            break;
         }
      }
}
   return main();
   return 0;
}

void frame(string& word, int& guess)
{
   string top(word.size()+4, '*');
   string bottom(word.size()+4, '*');
   string middle = "* " + word + " *";

   cout << "WORD SO FAR: \t GUESSES MADE: " << guess << endl;
   cout << top << endl;
   cout << middle << endl;
   cout << bottom << endl;

I can seem to get it to work, it keeps throwing up these two errors...
1>MSVCRTD.lib(crtexew.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup
and fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Pardon my n00bness, what I lack in C++ I make up for in time spent reading about C++ :P

Just a quick question too, what is "return main();" a recursive function? ive touched on them, but by god they are confusing! I cant see why you've put return 0; straight after it? please educate me :D

You might have a setting on your compiler to not compile on certain warnings like infinite looping
his main recursion is a infinite loop and the return 0 will never get touched. I believe main() recursion is a big no no
you would need to pass something in main(x - 1)with a if statement to check it but you can't do that with main function.
He may not know about looping yet.

recursion is still confusing to me too.
I need a compiler with a can of RAID built into it

I added a msn messenger just for programming feel free to email or add yourself to it
