So I am trying to complete a program for a horse race.

This first portion is the assignment itself and the requirements

3. Create a Program From Pseudocode

This exercise will be to use pseudocode (in the form of comments) to write a program to simulate a horse race. You will need the following variables.

struct Horse>member variables

string name: the name of the horse

int distance: how far the horse has traveled

int offset: used to track penalties and bonuses from events

int ID: the number of the horse and index for horses

global constant int horseCount = 6: the number of horses in the race

global constant int trackLength = 100: the length of the race track

std::array horses

int die1, die2 for die rolls (These are optionalthe sum can be generated without them.)

int sum is used to store the sum of the die rolls.

int winner is the winning horses ID.

int lead is used to track the distance of the leading horse.

int bet is the amount bet on the race.

int cash is the amount of money the player has.

bool racing is a flag used in the Do-While racing loop. While it is true, the race continues.

bool playing is a flag used in the Do-While game loop. While it is true, the game continues.

int hNum is the number (ID) of the horse the player bet on.

Use a range-based For loop to initialize the horses data. Ask the player for names or hard code themyour choice.

At the start of each race, ask the player to make a bet and pick a horse.

Each turn during the race, each horse will move forward based on the sum of the roll of two six-sided dice (16). This value is augmented by an offset. The offset can be negative or positive. Add the offset to the sum of the dice. (Note: If the offset is negative, adding to the sum will reduce the sums value.) If the sum is negative, store the negative value in offset and leave the horses distance value unchanged. If the sum is positive, add it to the horses distance and set the offset to zero. Once any horse has gone more than the length of the track, the race is over and the horse with the greatest distance value wins. Add six times the bet to cash if the player wins, or subtract the bet from cash if the player loses. The game is over when the player has run out of money. You also quit when the player bets $0 or less.

The offset value is calculated using a Switch statement and a random number between 0 and 15. If the number is 0 or 1, the horse breaks stride and the offset is negative 1 or 2 (randomly selected). If the random number is 2 or 3, the horse finds his stride and the offset is a positive 1 or 2 (randomly selected). If the random number is 4, the horse stumbles and the offset is a negative 46 (randomly selected). If the random number is 5, the horse has a burst of energy and the offset is a positive 46 (randomly selected). If the random number is 615, nothing happens.

Reset the values of the horses distance and offset using a range-based For loop before each new race.

Here is the pseudocode.

cin.get();

The following after this point is what I have so far completed.

My question for this is how to make it work correctly because everytime I run it, it becomes an infinite loop.
