Fix: Code::Blocks won't Build and Run

I currently using Dev-C++ IDE but since Dev-C++ project seems to be abandoned and the compiler sometimes makes me crazy, I've decided to turn back to Code::Blocks which I've been using in my programming class back then during my Engineering's Foundation courses.
I've installed Code::Blocks using the installer from my harddrive and what happen is the program won't build and run.When compiling an empty project, the build log shows nothing but the error

"firstTry - Debug" uses an invalid compiler. Skipping..

shows up when compiling a project.So I've start Googling for the solution and I've found this thread
http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=14814.0;prev_next=next
Same issues and the problem is the default setting's wrongly locating the MinGW compiler in my directory. Its should be C:/Program Files/CodeBlocks/MinGw rather than C:/MinGW .But then I realise that the installer package I'm using for Code::Blocks is not including the MinGW setup.Damn!!
So what about using the MinGW from my existing Dev-C++??Yes!What a brilliant I am..LOL
So following the instruction from the link above, I should go to Settings>Compiler and debugger>toolchain executables tab and relocate the directory for the MinGW folder and voila!!Its works..!!damn noob I am..zzzz..
By the way just click the Auto Detect button if your Code::Blocks already has MinGW.

Arrays of Pointers to Functions

Program below uses pointers to functions to simulate a menu-driven system.

2) Maze: Generating Maze Randomly and Maze Traversal

My version of random maze generator and maze traversal.
This program used Depth First Search Algorithm to generate random maze according to the size input by user, then this program used the Right Hand Wall algorithm for the traversal.
Source:
Depth First Search Algorithm - http://www.mazeworks.com/mazegen/mazetut/index.htm
The recursive version of the maze generator can be found here - http://azerdark.wordpress.com/2009/03/29/588/

Simulation: The Tortoise and the Hare

This program recreate one of the truly great moments in history, namely the classic race of the tortoise and the hare.
So our contenders begin the race at "square 1" of 70 square.Each square represents a possible position along the race course.The finish line is at square 70.The course weaves its way up the side of a slippery mountain, so occasionally the contenders lose ground.There is a clock that ticks once per second.With each tick of the clock, this program will adjust the position of the animals according to the following rules:

Animal	Move type	Percentage of the time	Actual move
Tortoise	Fast plod	50%	3 squares to the right
	Slip	20%	6 squares to the left
	Slow pod	30%	1 squares to the right
Hare	Sleep	20%	No move at all
	Big hop	20%	9 squares to the right
	Big slip	10%	12 squares to the left
	Small hop	30%	1 square to the right
	Small slip	20%	2 squares to the left

The previous shuffling and dealing algorithm is inefficient which may caused the possibility of indefinite postponement.Program below improvised that previous algorithm to avoid indefinite postponement.

4) Card Shuffling and Dealing: Five-card poker Hand Dealer's Simulation

Simulate the dealer in five-card poker hand.
The dealer's five-card hand is dealt "face down" so the player can't see it.The program will evaluate the dealer's hand, and based on the quality of the hand, the dealer will automatically draw one, two, or three more cards to replace the corresponding number of unneeded cards in the original hands.Then the program will re-evaluate the dealer's hand.
