Hey everybody.
I'm working on a dice game using C. You roll two dice (Red and Blue). If you roll doubles, you get points. For doubles of 1 or 6, you get ten points. For doubles 2-5, you get 5 points.
My problem is, whenever I execute the game, I only ever get 0 points even when I get doubles (of anything).

Help please?
Here's the code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define ROLL_DIE ((rand() % 6) +1)

int main(void)
{ int RedDice ;
int BlueDice ;
int Points ;

srand(time(NULL));
printf("Rolling Dice\n" );


printf ("Red Dice is %d\n", RedDice=ROLL_DIE);
printf ("Blue Dice is %d\n", BlueDice=ROLL_DIE);
if (RedDice ==6 && BlueDice == 6 )
{Points = Points +10;
if (RedDice ==1 && BlueDice ==1 )
Points = Points + 10;
if(RedDice == 2 && BlueDice == 2 )
Points = Points +5;
if(RedDice == 3 &&BlueDice == 3 )
Points = Points +5;

if(RedDice == 4 &&BlueDice == 4 )
Points = Points +5;
if(RedDice == 5 && BlueDice == 5 )
Points = Points +5;
}

printf("You have %d points\n", Points);

return(0);

}

um.... idk what is wrong. I ran your program and got 22xxxxxxx72 everytime. I rewrote it... Not sure what I changed... but now you get zero points unless you roll doubles. Here's my code... best of luck to you in the future. Lucky you caught me up at 4:40am writing C code for a remote control car micro-controller lol.... fml sometimes hehe



edit: i just tested it again & i'm getting the points = 0 problem now... ugh

edit2: fixed now for sure lmk if you have any other problems.

I think I found your problem too... weird place for brackets if you ask me.




oh and up above Main(void) watch your bracket there... usually I put it on the same line as "Main" or a blank line... not right before "int"

You initialized points, but never gave it a starting value of zero. So the first time you get points = points + something, you have nothing to add it to...

It should be int points = 0;

i set Points=0; right after printf("rolling dice");..... I already made sure the code I posted above works & You see those extra random brackets (in the original code) too? I bet those didn't help

Good suggestion though. If I don't set something as a value my complier sets the integer to "2"... I have no idea why it picks 2 out of all possible numbers, but w\e. So setting an initial value is important.

2? That's weird... Oh well, I'm glad it's working....
