Final Project: Text-Based RPG Battle System

Final Project — You've made it to the end!

Build a Text-Based RPG Battle

This is your capstone project! Bring together everything you've learned — variables, functions, loops, conditionals, and control flow — to build a turn-based battle system in C++.

YOUR TASK

Create a battle game where:

The hero starts with 100 HP and the enemy starts with 60 HP
Each turn, the player chooses: 1. Attack or 2. Heal
Attack deals 20 damage to the enemy; the enemy always hits back for 10
Heal restores 15 HP to the hero (no enemy counter-attack)
After each turn, print both HP values
The loop ends when either HP hits 0 — print who wins

Use functions to keep your attack, heal, and display logic clean.

Need a hint?

Structure to follow:
1. Start with int heroHP = 100, enemyHP = 60;
2. Write helper functions:
  void attack(int& enemyHP, int& heroHP) — subtract 20 from enemy, 10 from hero
  void heal(int& heroHP) — add 15 to hero HP
  void showHP(int h, int e) — print both HP values
3. while (heroHP > 0 && enemyHP > 0) loop:
  — print the menu, read choice with cin
  — call the right function via if/else
  — call showHP() after each action
4. After the loop, check who won with an if/else

Example (inputs: 1, 1, 1):

1. Attack 2. Heal
Choice: 1
Hero HP: 90 | Enemy HP: 40
1. Attack 2. Heal
Choice: 1
Hero HP: 80 | Enemy HP: 20
1. Attack 2. Heal
Choice: 1
Hero HP: 70 | Enemy HP: 0
Hero wins!
