C++

Can someone help me to determine what I'm missing. Below is the code for my Left Center Right dice game. The code compiles and runs, but exits once the game rules are displayed. It doesn't actually play the game. I'm need some help to determine what I'm missing here after the Game rules are displayed the game should start. Please help

Explanation / Answer

Here is where you're failing. And is explained why. But sorry, the problem is not solved.

//#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
//#include<conio.h>
#include <string>
#include <time.h>
#include "Dice.cpp"
#include "Player.cpp"
using namespace std;
int setPlayers() //receive input for number of players, display error message if number is less than 3
{
int numOfPlayers = 0;
cout << "Please enter number of players (3 or more): " << endl;
cin >> numOfPlayers;
if (numOfPlayers <= 2)
{
cout << "This game requires 3 or more players." << endl;
setPlayers();
}
return numOfPlayers;
}
int main()
{
int currentPlayer = 0;
srand((unsigned)time(NULL)); //CQG-added unsigned cast
const int numPlayers = setPlayers(); //set number of players
static Player* players = new Player[numPlayers]; //set up array to hold player objects
for (int i = 0; i < numPlayers; i++) //loop to set names and chips for each player
{
cout << "Enter player name: " << endl;
players[i].setName();
players[i].chips = 3;
}
Player::directions(); //display game rules to player
//This is where you're missing the actual code.
//The before code will just initialize the players, and will print the directions.
//But after that, you didn't wrote anything to be done, and therefore, the code is ending.
//You also didn't provided any directions for the game, i.e., the file LCRrules.txt
//is not given. If you had given that, I would had tried to develop some more instructions
//to run the code. Anyways, as you asked where you're failing, I would like to inform
//you that this is where you're failing. Please write the actual code to play the game here.
// _getch;
return 0;
}
