Do you think it is a good idea to have the attack/agility/defence/accuracy be tied to experience points? IMHO, I think it makes it more true to life, because the better you get at something the better it sticks to you.

That is well done. I like the idea of your using a skill (def, att, etc) upping it''s lvl and exp. Though I would get away from the floating point stuff since you are getting integer points added to your exp (93.9991% exp on attack? instead go for 94/100 (94, what you have; 100, to next lvl)
I am planning on using something similer for weapon and magic. And I think I will do the same thing you are doing with att/def/dex etc. Great Job!

Yo, couple of things, 1. GOOD 2. to get the selection... dont use cin.. or cin.get...
#include <conio.h>
getch() //returns a character, which can easily be interpreted... (the advantage is the user doesnt hafta hit enter)
switch(getch())
{
case 'Q':
case 'q':
//QuitStuff Here
break; //breaks out of the switch
case 'A':
case 'a':
//AttackStuff Here
break;
case 'Y':
case 'y':
//GetStatus Here
break;
case 'E':
case 'e':
//GetEnemyStatus Here
break;
default:
//They didnt hit any of the keys you wanted them to
}
the thing with switches is that they will keep on going right on down the line untill they hit a break, keep that in mind

When General Patton died after World War 2 he went to the gates of Heaven to talk to St. Peter. The first thing he asked is if there were any Marines in heaven. St. Peter told him no, Marines are too rowdy for heaven. He then asked why Patton wanted to know. Patton told him he was sick of the Marines overshadowing the Army because they did more with less and were all hard-core sons of bitches. St. Peter reassured him there were no Marines so Patton went into Heaven. As he was checking out his new home he rounded a corner and saw someone in Marine Dress Blues. He ran back to St. Peter and yelled "You lied to me! There are Marines in heaven!" St. Peter said "Who him? That's just God. He wishes he were a Marine."

Use [std::]getchar (in <cstdio> - <stdio.h> if you''re programming in C) instead.

Thanks!
Actually it does use integer, the floating point is just to tell you that you got 93.99991% of the required exp before upping. (maybe I''ll post some of my trade secret code to show you how i do it
)
Hey! Can''t a programmer be lazy when making a demo?
(I''ve uploaded a modified version, it is easier to beat the computer... NOT [really]!)
