Code for keeping track of combat

[Llama513]

I made some code for C that allows the DM to enter the number of combatants, their initiative, their health, and give a name to each of them, it then sorts the entries by highest initiative, it doesn't handle ties, so you will want to satisfy those before you enter initiatives. It will then run you through combat keeping track of whos turn it is, and damage/healing done, when a combatant is reduced to 0 hitpoints it gives the option to exit combat.

Header File (combat.h)

struct combatant{
char name[25];
int initiative;
int health;
};

int howMany, i, swapped;

puts("How many combatants are there?");
scanf(" %d", &howMany);

struct combatant id[howMany];
struct combatant temp;

for(i = 0; i < howMany; i++){
puts("Enter combatants name");
scanf(" %s", id[i].name);
}

for(i = 0;i < howMany;i++){
printf("Enter %s initiative \n", id[i].name);
scanf(" %d", &id[i].initiative);

while(1){

for(i = 0; i < howMany-1; i++){

strcpy(temp.name, id[i].name);

This is cool but I just use this http://www.improved-initiative.com/e/a34dyviv for all of my combat tracking needs.
