program crashes at CIN input | C++
- by TimothyTech
hello okay, so i made a DOS program however my game always crashes on my second time running to the cin function.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
//call functions
int create_enemyHP (int a);
int create_enemyAtk (int a);
int find_Enemy(int a);
int create_enemyDef (int a);
// user information
int userHP = 100;
int userAtk = 10;
int userDef = 5;
string userName;
//enemy Information
int enemyHP;
int enemyAtk;
int enemyDef;
string enemies[] = {"Raider", "Bandit", "Mugger"};
int sizeOfEnemies = sizeof(enemies) / sizeof(int);
string currentEnemy;
int chooseEnemy;
// ACTIONS
int journey;
int test;
int main()
{
// main menu
cout << "welcome brave knight, what is your name? " ;
cin >> userName;
cout << "welcome " << userName << " to Darland" << endl;
//TRAVELING
MENU:
cout << "where would you like to travel? " << endl;
cout << endl << " 1.> Theives Pass " << endl;
cout << " 2.> Humble Town " << endl;
cout << " 3.> Mission HQ " << endl;
cin >> journey;
if (journey == 1)
{
// action variable;
string c_action;
cout << "beware your journey grows dangerous " << endl;
//begins battle
// Creating the enemy, HP ATK DEF AND TYPE. ;
srand(time(0));
enemyHP = create_enemyHP(userHP);
enemyAtk = create_enemyAtk(userAtk);
enemyDef = create_enemyDef(userDef);
chooseEnemy = find_Enemy(sizeOfEnemies);
currentEnemy = enemies[chooseEnemy];
cout << " Here comes a " << currentEnemy << endl;
cout << "stats: " << endl;
cout << "HP :" << enemyHP << endl;
cout << "Attack : " << enemyAtk << endl;
cout << "Defense : " << enemyDef << endl;
ACTIONS:
cout << "Attack <A> | Defend <D> | Items <I>";
cin >> c_action;
//if ATTACK/DEFEND/ITEMS choice
if (c_action == "A" || c_action == "a"){
enemyHP = enemyHP - userAtk;
cout << " you attack the enemy reducing his health to " << enemyHP << endl;
userHP = userHP - enemyAtk;
cout << "however he lashes back causing you to have " << userHP << "health left " << endl;
//end of ATTACK ACTION
}
the last line "cin c_action crashes. i use two other pages. they just create the functions. is it a complier issue. also why does my complier always shutdown after it runs he app. is there a way to stop it?
