[Solved] Simple mathematic solution doesnt work [closed]

I know you said that there is no other way to do it. I hope you don’t mind that I took the liberty to do so, anyway. If you structure the code somehow like below, you will make future-you much happier:

I assume that you have the following variables: $shipLife is the life amount of the player, $shipDamage is the damage dealt by the planer, $enemyLife is the life amount of the enemy and $enemyDamage is the damage dealt by the enemy.

//advance time $t with a for loop at most until minute 15
for($t = 1; $t <= 15; ++$t) 
{
    //perform enemy attack
    $shipLife -= $enemyDamage;

    //check if the ship survived the attack
    if($shipLife <= 0)
    {
        echo "You got destroyed in minute " . $t;
        break;
    }

    //perform ship attack
    $enemyLife -= $shipDamage;

    //check if the enemy survived the attack
    if($enemyLife <= 0)
    {
        echo "You destroyed the enemy in minute " . $t;
        break;
    }
}

//Check if both players are still alive
if($shipLife > 0 && $enemyLife > 0)
    echo "Both ship and enemy are still alive after " . ($t - 1) . " minutes";
