how to end a game? [c++]

[cassius]

When my main character is killed ( in sword fight) I need to end the game. Currently I have Delay 5000 followed by return false but for some reason the "die" animation only gets half way thru before the program ends.

n there is also a scream sound effect which sometimes occurs but at other times does not.

How should I smoothly end the game?

exit(0)?

Ok exit(0) replaced return false. This time the sound effect worked and the attack anim stopped but program ended before die anim could play.Below is the "die" anim code

 

void kill_jane()

{

if (jane.frame < jane.animlength)

{

jane.model->SetAnimationFrame(jane.frame, 1, jane.seq);

jane.frame = jane.frame + 0.5;

}

if (jane.frame >= jane.animlength)

{

 

scream->Play();

jane.alive = false;

}

}

EDIT :jane.fame starts at 0 and counts up to animlength ie 66 frames
