I am trying to program a hangman game in C++ using Dev-C++, complete with an ASCII-based main menu. This is the code that I have so far: //What is this code and what is it doing? #include // What do each of these do? #include #include using namespace std; //What is this code doing? int NUM_TRY = 7; int checkGuess (char, string, string); void menu(); string message = "Play!"; //What is this code doing? int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { string name; char letter; string animal; string animals[] = { "owl", "bear", "ocelot", "whale", "zebra", "armadillo", "chimpanzee", "alligator", "seahorse", "feline", "bovine", "horse", "canine" }; //What is this code doing? srand(time(NULL)); int n=rand()% 12; animal=animals[n]; string hide_m(animal.length(),'X'); //What is this code and what is it doing? while (NUM_TRY!=0) { menu(); cout << "\n\n\t\t\t\t" << hide_m; cout << "\n\n\t\t\t\tGuess a letter: "; cin >> letter; if (checkGuess(letter, animal, hide_m)==0) { message = "Incorrect letter."; NUM_TRY = NUM_TRY - 1; } else { message = "NICE! You guessed a letter"; } if (animal==hide_m) { message = "Congratulations! You got it!"; menu(); cout << "\n\t\t\t\tThe animal is : " << animal << endl; break; } } if(NUM_TRY == 0) { message = "No!! You've been hanged."; menu(); cout << "\n\t\t\t\tThe animal was : " << animal << endl; } cin.ignore(); cin.get(); return 0; } //What is this code and what is it doing? int checkGuess (char guess, string secretanimal, string &guessanimal) { int i; int matches=0; int len=secretanimal.length(); for (i = 0; i < len; i++) { if (guess == guessanimal[i]) return 0; if (guess == secretanimal[i]) { guessanimal[i] = guess; matches++; } } return matches; } menu{( //What is this code and what is it doing? system("color 05"); //change the color! system("cls"); cout << "\t\t\t\t*\t*"; cout<<"\t\t\t\t**\t**"; cout<<"\t\t\t\t***\t***"; cout<<"\t\t\t\t****\t****"; cout<<"\t\t\t\t*****\t*****"; cout<<"\t\t\t\t******\t******"; cout<<"\t\t\t\t*******\t*******"; cout<<"\t\t\t\t*******\t*******"; cout<<"\t\t\t\t******\t******"; cout<<"\t\t\t\t*****\t*****"; cout<<"\t\t\t\t****\t****"; cout<<"\t\t\t\t***\t***"; cout<<"\t\t\t\t**\t**"; cout<<"\t\t\t\t*\t*"; //What is this code and what is it doing? cout<<"\t\t@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@"; cout << "\n\t\t\t\tHangman Game!"; //Feel free to change the wording cout << "\n\t\tYou have " << NUM_TRY << " tries to try and guess the animal."; cout << "\n\n\t\t\t\t" + message; cout<<"\n\t\t@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@\n"; )} I cannot get the code to compile because of ONE error. Some help would be greatly appreciated.
