Im not finished, but what could i do to improve it, or is what ive done pretty good so far? Thanks for the feedback!

I don't think there is a way improving this game, because this game only has input string and output "cout", so there is no way to improve it.

You have to only work on a story and to avoid more typing you can use namespace "std"
, so in future, since you will almost always type "std::", you don't have to type std:: anymore...

Don't do any of this. Keep using std:: to save yourself massive pain in the future. Soon you'll get used to it and it would be as if you werent writing it at all.

I made a reply to someone who wrote a very similar style game before.

See my response in this thread:

A way that you can ensure that your program doesn't mess up if a user types it not exactly how you want it (like you say "choose left or right" and they type "Right". Your program will not accept this), is by converting the answers to lower-case, and removing the space.. I'm not sure if you are able to remove spaces in a string, but I'm pretty sure that there's a built-in function or method that can allow you to make the response lower case. You can change it to upper case too.

[RUNNER PRO AGARIO]

You know, instead of typing all those std::' statements, you could just write these 4 at the top, next to your #include's

using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
using std::string;

by default, i always include all of these in my standard program files. Did you know, i've done a similar project like you before? Except I had task numbers. It was a huge success.

[YvngSavage]

Runner, could you elaborate more on the task number thing? I haven't messed with this code at all I've been busy, but I'm waiting to learn how to make a nicer looking program cause this one is quite messy and frankly not great...

[RUNNER PRO AGARIO]

By task numbers I mean This: Suppose after each question, you created a list: labeled through, say one to three, with each number representing a task that could be done at that stage. Instead of using getline for directly writing each task, you could just use cin >> tasknumber; to get input a lot faster. It's a lot more convenient as people make spelling errors, and that may lead to unintentional errors. Hope this helps. :)
