I'm just wondering what strategy you would use to determine what players turn it is in a game with more than two people. For two players I would just have a value increase after each player went then use the remainder operator to determine if the number is even or odd, if it is even player 1's turn, if its odd, player 2's turn...something like this

if(count % 2 == 0){
//player 1's turn
} else {
//player 2's turn
}

but I'm not sure what strategy i should use with, say a game with 4 players, any ideas?

Edit:
Other than manually coding, because there is infinity moves and I cant code that many lines, something like this is unreasonable imo

if count = 0
//player 1
else if count = 1
//player 2
else if count = 2
//player 3
else if count = 3
//player 4
else if count = 4
//player 1
else if count = 5
//player 2

and so on indefinitely

cout >> "it is player " >> count % players + 1 >> "'s turn";

No problem. I love math problems!
