Hello! I just started learning c++ and reached the lopps challenge project. I wanted to write a small Pokemon game. The idea is for the Prof to ask for your name. And like in any Pokemon game, you would have to confirm that that really is your name. You would have 3 tries. It just doesn’t work. If I press ‘Y’ the question still pops up. And if I press ‘N’ the confirmation statement pops up…I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Anyway, here’s the code:
#include
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << " ,'\\ \n";
cout << " _.----. ____ ,' _\\ ___ ___ ____ \n";
cout << " _,-' `. | | /`. \\,-' | \\ / | | \\ |`.\n";
cout << " \\ __ \\ '-. | / `. ___ | \\/ | '-. \\ | |\n";
cout << " \\. \\ \\ | __ | |/ ,',' _ `. | | __ | \\| |\n";
cout << " \\ \\/ /,' _ `. ,' / / / / | ,' _ `. | |\n";
cout << " \\ ,-'/ / \\ | ,' | \\/ /, `.| / / \\ | | |\n";
cout << " \\ \\ | \\_/ | `-. \\ `' /| | | | \\_/ | |\\ |\n";
cout << " \\ \\ \\ / `-.`.___,-' | |\\ / | \\ / | | |\n";
cout << " \\ \\ `.__,' |`-., `| |__| | | `.__,'| | | |\n";
cout << " \\_..-' |__ | `-., | '-.| '-. | | |\n";
cout << " `' '-._ |\n";
cout << "========================================== TEXT VERSION ===========================================\n\n";
// ---------------------------------------------- WELCOME MESSAGE ------------------------------------------------
cout << "Hello there! Welcome to the world of Pokemon.\n";
cout << "My name is Derp. People call me the Professor Derp.\n";
cout << "Choose a Pokemon, go on an adventure, you know the drill...\n";
string name;
int tries = 0;
char confirm;
do {
cout << “What is your name?\n\n”;
getline(cin, name);
cout << "Champ " << name << " is that right? (Y/N)\n";
cin >> confirm;
if (confirm == 'y' || confirm == 'Y') {
cout << "No way! You are the great " << name << " everyone's been talking about\n";
} else {
tries++;
cout << "Hmm...Alright. What is your name?\n";
}
} while (tries <= 3);
if (tries > 3) {
cout << "You better get some rest and come back later\n";
}
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
