So if z had a value of say, 5, the loop would run 5 times before breaking off on the sixth run.

« on: February 27, 2012, 08:24:09 pm »If I'm reading that right, it starts x at 0, checks to see if x is less than z. If it's true, it adds 1 to x and reruns the loop. If false, it breaks the loop and moves on. Do I have the general concept?Code: [Select]for ( x = 0 ; x < z ; x++)

yeah... well done, you fucked up the universe to solve a question about computers.

« on: February 27, 2012, 08:00:45 pm »I think you're looking for break?That might work. I'd have to fiddle with it first, the only time we've used break so far is for switches.
New question though:
Code: [Select]
for(;;)Are double semi-colons just a shorthand for "code goes here", or is it an argument of some sort?@ MZ: Very, VERY early groundwork. Currently a bunch of mostly empty functions, calling each other to make sure various switches and if-statements work. It does have a nice-looking title picture though

So today I had some free time at school, decided to start laying the groundwork for a dungeon crawler...
and it turns out that C doesn't have a String variable. WHAT.
According to the textbook (some 300-400 pages ahead of what we're currently working on), the way you work around it is with a modified char variable that stores the fake!String as a bunch of separate characters. Needless to say, I am not getting it to work properly yet.
Anyway, a more pertinent question: how do you tell the program to return to a different line or section of code? See, I only want players to use letters for their name (figuring out how to make this work led to the aforementioned discovery), but I don't want to simply shut down the program if the name is invalid. I assume it's some variation of "goto", but the exact syntax eludes me.

I don't think I have anything left after buying the halberd. I don't really have anything to sell either.
ETA: I'm refering to my starting money here. I haven't spent any of the gold we earned.

Yeah, the halberd was working surprisngly well. I'm gonna need to take another feat or something to get it's damage potential up, though.
Also, I AM LIGHTNING DWARF! FEAR ME!
...and pass me a comb. My beard is sticking straight out in all directions.
