Class Choosing Screen (Multiple Things)

[scelton315]

Firstly, I'm new to C++ so don't pick on me. Thank you.

I'm making a text-based-adventure game (original, right?) and I need some help on a few things

Case Not Working

int classSelection()
{
    char classChosen;

    cout << "Please choose your class" << endl;
    cout << "Press 1 for warrior or 2 for mage: ";
    cin >> classChosen;

    switch (classChosen) {
    case 1:
        system("CLS");
        warriorTown();
        break;
    case 2:
        system("CLS");
        mageTown();
        break;
    default:
        system("CLS");
        cout << "Error, now exiting.";
    }
}

So when I compile this, I enter in 1 or 2 and I get

Error, now exiting.
Process returned 0 (0x0)   execution time : 2.498 s
Press any key to continue.

system("CLS")

What can I use to replace system("CLS")? It seems I shouldn't be using it.

Ok sorry this is a mess, hopefully you can understand and help me. Thanks

When you get '1' into a character, it stays as '1' (different from 1, the number).

As for system, just don't clear the screen. I don't really see why you need to do that anyway.

Why am I such an idiot, I hadn't realised that I'd put char instead of int. Thanks :)

As for the clear screen, the command prompt get's rather messy after a little while. It would be nice to have a screen wipe.
