Program

The Game Stats program displays information that you might want to keep track of in a space shooter game, such as a player’s score, the number of enemies the player has destroyed, and whether the player has his shields up. The program uses a group of variables to accomplish all of this. Figure 1.5 illustrates the program.

Figure 1.5

Each game stat is stored in a variable.

You can download the code for this program from the Course Technology website (www.courseptr.com/downloads). The program is in the Chapter 1 folder; the filename is game_stats.cpp.

cout << "\nscore: " << score << endl; cout << "distance: " << distance << endl; cout << "playAgain: " << playAgain << endl;

//skipping shieldsUp since you don’t generally print Boolean values cout << "lives: " << lives << endl;

cout << "aliensKilled: "<< aliensKilled << endl; cout << "engineTemp: " << engineTemp << endl;

int fuel;

cout << "\nHow much fuel? "; cin >> fuel;

cout << "fuel: " << fuel << endl;

typedef unsigned short int ushort; ushort bonus = 10;

cout << "\nbonus: " << bonus << endl;

return 0;
