    Bowling Score Algorithm

    Hey everyone...

    I am attempting to write a program that calculates the score of a bowling game. I have the pinfall's stored in a 2-d array

    pinfall(n,m)
    -where n is the framenumber 1-10 and m is the shot number 1,2

    I am having trouble writing the code to calculate the score. If there are any suggestions, please post 'em

    -Mike

    how is that score tracked?
