Question

I need help finding the error in my code for my Fill in the Blank (Making a Player Class) in C++. Everything looks good to me but it will not run. Please help... due in 24 hr.

Problem As you write in your code, be sure to use appropriate comments to describe your work. After you have finished, test the code by compiling it and running the program, then turn in your finished source code. Currently, there is a test program that calls a player's class. The program asks the player for a name and then gives options on what happens next. The only option available is to quit. Add an additional option and supporting code in the player header that will allow the player to input a preferred console type. After the player inputs a preferred console type, be sure to redisplay it. here is the .

Answer 1

Dear student i have figured out what was the errors.

Error 1: you were using PlayerOptions instead of playeroptions

Error 2: you had defined player option constructor in PlayerOptions.h file

I'm unable to use stdafx.h Header file. as i dont have it in my visual studio.

So i have exclude it from code and it works fine

Please find the below code

Main.cpp

#include<iostream>
#include "GameLoop.h"

using namespace std;
//main method

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
Game game; //create game object
game.RunGame(); // call RunGame method for game object
system("pause");
return 0;
}

GameLoop.cpp

#include "GameLoop.h"
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

//intoduce methods
void Game::WelcomePlayer()
{
cout << "Welcome to Text Adventure!" << endl << endl;
cout << "What is your name?" << endl << endl;

string name;
cin >> name;
m_player.SetName(name); //call method tos set name

cout << endl << "Hello " << m_player.GetName() << endl;
}

void Game::GivePlayerOptions() const
{
cout << "What would you like to do? (Enter a corresponding number)" << endl << endl;
cout << "1: Quit" << endl << endl;
cout << "2: Play " << endl;
cout << "3: Play online " << endl;
cout << "4: Saved Game " << endl;
cout << "5: Save Game " << endl;
cout << "6: None " << endl;
}
//enter method for reading user input
void Game::GetPlayerInput(string& playerInput) const
{
cin >> playerInput;
}

Playeroptions Game::EvaluateInput(string& playerInput) const
{
Playeroptions chosenOption = Playeroptions::None;

if (playerInput.compare("1") == 0)
{
cout << "You have chosen to Quit!" << endl << endl;
chosenOption = Playeroptions::Quit;
}
else if (playerInput.compare("2") == 0)
{
cout << "You have selected to Play!" << endl << endl;
}
else if (playerInput.compare("3") == 0)
{
cout << "You have selected to play online!" << endl << endl;
}
else if (playerInput.compare("4") == 0)
{
cout << "You have selected to open a Saved Game!" << endl << endl;
}
else if (playerInput.compare("5") == 0)
{
cout << "You have selected to Save your current game!" << endl << endl;
}
else
{
cout << "I do not recognise that option, try again!" << endl << endl;
}

return chosenOption;
}

void Game::RunGame() // call methods
{
WelcomePlayer();

bool shouldEnd = false; // boolean variable
while (shouldEnd == false)
{
GivePlayerOptions();

string playerInput;
GetPlayerInput(playerInput);

shouldEnd = EvaluateInput(playerInput) == Playeroptions::Quit;
}
}
