How do I telling turing that the character has been selected

[Spyro]

For my comp sci ISP, I gotta make a game...
One of the requirements are
Menu including : Choose character, enter game and exit game

Now I cant let the user play the game without selecting a character...
so if the user tries to enter without selecting a character, the program will tell the user and return to menu page.... now if the user selects a character.. how does turing know that....
like I dunno how to let turing know when the user have selected a character and when it hasnt and how to respond to each thing.......

please help

you could do it this way:
Lets say you have 4 characters, and there named 1,2,3,4.
make a variable called like characterchoice. Now when the user types in the character he wants it will set the characterchoice variable to either a 1,2,3 or 4.

What do you mean?
Like is there someway that I can hard copy what the user chooses so Turing can always refer to it?

I dunno what im doing....

Does this help you out? Its how i structure menus.

code:

var choice : int var check : boolean := false loop     put "What color do you want?"     put "(1) Green"     put "(2) Blue"     put "(3) Red"     get choice     if choice = 1 then         cls         Draw.FillBox (100, 100, 200, 200, green)         check := true     elsif choice = 2 then         cls         Draw.FillBox (100, 100, 200, 200, blue)         check := true     elsif choice = 3 then         cls         Draw.FillBox (100, 100, 200, 200, red)         check := true     else         put "Incorrect input, Try again."     end if     exit when check = true end loop
