[SOLVED]
I created a color selector for the user to choose what color the text and background are in colortext.cpp and the mad lib in Main.cpp:
colortext.cpp:

using namespace std;
int start;
int main();
int colortext(start)
{
unsigned int key;
int colorcode;
cout<<"Mad lib: RickyRombo"<<endl<<"<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>"<<endl<<"Press \"/\" for color options or press any other key to continue."<<endl;
key = getch();
if(key = '/'){

switch(colorcode)

The main problem is I can't get them to work together, and I've looked at many tutorials on multi-file projects and how to get them to work, but I don't know how to do whatever needs to be done to make these work in conjunction.
I'm using Visual C++ Express as my compiler.
Any Ideas?
