The exit condition is still checked when you use continue. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6e3dc2z3.aspx Quote: In a do or while loop, the next iteration starts by reevaluating the controlling expression of the do or while statement. Continue is designed to just skip the rest of the code in the current iteration. If you are only checking the exit conditions after player 2 rolls, then only ____ the ____ _____ after player _ rolls.
