Such a pity that I believe in libre (My definition on my last reply) software. And most game players nowadays are not really interested in text based games.

Well, it is your time, so do what you like.

You'll need macro black magic for that. There's a "stringize" operator. You can make macros like ("MAKE_GLOBAL_VAR(variableName, variableType)") that will decalre a variable, store its name somewhere, register that name within global std::map<string, someclass> or std::map<string, type*>, etc. Such things are easier to do in C++, not in C, since in C++ you can create a class instance anywhere, and that instance can perform some operation when being constructed/destroyed. Global class variables will perform operations within their constructor during program startup/shutdown, which is quite useful.

Thanks for the tip. As I do not need to add many more weapons it should not be too much or an issue.
