Just curious, why did game_end() never get a parameter? In most programming languages, ie. Java has System.Exit(return);

We should overload it to accept variant or some shit for ENIGMA.

I think it was Leonardo da Vinci who once said something along the lines of "If you build the robots, they will make games." or something to that effect.

Good idea.
Does it also return something?

It returns the first argument of the next run of the game, which starts at that call.

What Rusky? That doesn't make much sense.

It makes more sense than asking for a return value from System.Quit

Troll. Anyway, I went ahead and overloaded it per Josh's instructions with an int parameter type for all platforms.

Documentation for the function is here.

printf("%d\n", game_end(5))

$ ./game
$ echo $?
5

$ ./game 42
42
