I admit that I have a problem.
But first, start here for a little science. Or just go ahead and get straight to the code below.
Claire: What’s wrong with you? Why don’t you like yourself?
Brian: ‘Cause I’m stupid…’cause I’m failing shop. See we had this assignment, to make this ceramic elephant, and um–and we had eight weeks to do it and we’re s’posed ta, and it was like a lamp, and when you pull the trunk the light was s’posed to go on. My light didn’t go on, I got a F on it. Never got a F in my life. When I signed up, you know, for the course I mean. I thought I was playing it real smart, you know. ‘Cause I thought, I’ll take shop, it’ll be such an easy way to maintain my grade point average.
What’s supposed to happen:
1. populate a clown car with five clowns
2. each clown is an object, with a name, an ID number and three attacks, each with unique damage
3. scroll through the clowns (once through = a turn)
a. pick a target clown
b. pick an attack
c. write out the attack, score damage against the target clown
d. see if clown is down below 0 ‘hit points’, if so, he’s dead – kick him out of the car
e. manage the data handling (clown objects are stored in a vector, shrink the vector after kicking out clowns.
f. report on who is left and how many hit points each clown has left
