Manage double turn of game

Question

I ask you to help today because I can not seem to do something in my program.

It is a turn-based game, I manage this with:

player = turn % nbr_players;

this is the number of player we play for now

But I would add a condition if we want every person is a 2 turn each time. If someone would have an idea of approach I am taking

thank you very much

If a player's second turn may be forfeit under the game rules, that would make it more complicated. Consider having nested loops. — Weather Vane, Oct 01 '16 at 17:47

Assuming you are using C (see integer division), you can calculate (zero-based) player index:

player = (turn / turns_per_player) % nbr_players

where all variables are integer, and first turn is 0.

However, this code is a bit tricky. You may think of more formal and human-oriented alternatives of game rules implementation. But it depends on program purpose and scale.
