One of the things you learn in programming is that you can't write code 
until you understand the concept. So before you worry about the code you 
need to think more about what you are trying to do. Once you can 
articulate the problem the solution will be easier to see.

And if you can't explain what you are trying to do there is little 
chance of us guessing what it is.

As a start you could try sketching the user interface of your game.
Name the elements. Then describe the interaction between the user
and the game. (FWIW This technique is known as writing a use-case
in software engineering) Include all the alternative outcomes for
a given action.
