}
if ( game == LOST )
cout << "Oh no! You exploded the fish! Now \nLittle Joey will throw a tempertantrum.\n"; // Tell the player it exploded!
else if ( game == SSSS ) { // I'm using an else if so that I can have an error message option.
if ( hTake > aNeed ) // If you fed the fish enough...
cout << "You fed the fish enough and it survived! Yaayyy!\n"; // Give a victory message.
else // Otherwise...
cout << "You didn't feed the fish enough and it died. \nShame on you!\n"; // The fish died! Punish the player!
}
else // If the game isn't experiencing either of these options, we have a problem.
cout << "This game has had an unexpected error\n and needs to close.\n"; // Give the error message.
system("PAUSE"); // Allow the player to read the message he got before closing.
return 0; // Signal success.
} // End the program. That's it, folks!
Oklay, I think everything else is going fine, but when I put in an amount I know is enough for the fish, it still says I didn't feed it enough. I know I fed it enough because I temporarily made hte variable of how much it needs a certain amount (22). Any suggestions? Comments? Code that would optimize the game but is cryptic to me?
