C++ help with random shuffle and leveling
Hello everyone!
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me with a program I am working on. I am trying to add different levels in the below program. When the player reaches level 3, I would like to make him face a Dragon to save the princess. I am using random shuffle to pick the enemy for each fight but is there a way to bypass random shuffle at level 3 and force the battle to be against a dragon.
Can anyone give me a suggestion on how to do this?
Also any advice for improvements would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Code:
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<vector>
#include<algorithm>
#include<ctime>
#include<cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main()
{vector<string> inventory; //inventory of weapons
inventory.push_back("sword");
inventory.push_back("bow");
inventory.push_back("wand");
inventory.push_back("dagger");
vector<string> player; //player options
player.push_back(" "); //empty place holder to move character names into the #1-4 spot to match enum values
player.push_back("Knight");
player.push_back("Archer");
player.push_back("Sorcerer");
player.push_back("Elf");
vector<string> foe; //foe options
foe.push_back("Dragon");
foe.push_back("Troll");
foe.push_back("Worlock");
foe.push_back("Fairy");
vector<string> outcome;
outcome.push_back("You are wounded and you lose 10 health points and 5 power points");
outcome.push_back("You have killed your enemy and you gain 10 health points and 5 power points");
outcome.push_back("You escaped unharmed and you gain 10 health points and 5 power points");
outcome.push_back("You are missing a limb you lose 20 health points and 10 power points");

Re: C++ help with random shuffle and leveling
As posted, your code is just about unreadable as it is not indented properly. Please make sure it is formatted before posting.
You are randomly shuffling the vector foe and selecting the first element of the shuffled vector each time for your STRANGER, FIGHT and RESULT variables. You have a variable Level which is the current level of the player. All you need is a simple test of Level before you shuffle/assign. Something like
Code:
string FIGHT;
if (Level == 3)
FIGHT = "Dragon";
else {
random_shuffle(foe.begin(), foe.end());
FIGHT = foe[0];
}
The same concept can be applied to STRANGER and RESULT and the tests can be extended to cover other specific circumstances.
Later in the program, you then test for "Dragon" as well as the other foes. As Dragon isn't in the default foe list, it won't get selected by chance on the shuffle.

All my code is tested (unless stated explicitly otherwise) with the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio (using the supported features of the latest standard) and is offered as examples only - not as production quality.
