how to get a figure(letter "C" to be exact) on the screen to stand for the main character.... here is the source code if you have no clue what im talking about...
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iomanip>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;
void startup_menu();
int main_menu();
void move();
void location(int, int);
int main()
{ //main loop
startup_menu();
return 0;
}
void location(int xcoord, int ycoord)
{
cout << setw(73) << "Your location is " << xcoord << ", " << ycoord << endl;
}
void move()
{
char dir = 'a';
int x = 10, y = 10;
while(dir != 'q')
{
dir = getch();
("cls");
switch(dir)
{
case 'w': y--; system("cls"); cout << "\nYou move North." << endl; break;
case 's': y++; cout << "\nYou move South." << endl; break;
case 'd': x++; cout << "\nYou move East." << endl; break;
case 'a': x--; cout << "\nYou move West." << endl; break;
case 'l': location(x,y); break;
case 'q': system("cls"); return;
default: cout << "Try again"<[edited by - TheNerd Tk421 on August 8, 2003 12:51:03 PM]

You would probaly need to provide x y coodinates. Check out GameTutorials under C++, and you might find what you are looking for.

If it wasn''t for C, we''d be using BASI, PASAL and OBOL

I don''t think there''s a way of doing it in pure C++ (ie using some kind of function). Maybe you should build a 2 dimensional buffer representing your screen, or use something else (maybe WIN32?).

I thought there might have been away...i have problems with Win32... i dont know ne where with good tutorials that do work with compiler(Dev C++ 5.0)....
In Borland C++ exists a include file named conio.h .
There are several functions for console screen editing.
gotoxy, color change, ...
Perhaps you can find a conio.h which is compatible with your compiler.

There''s probably some way to set where you write text onto the screen, but I don''t know what it would be. Try searching google for "c++ console output text location of screen" or somesuch.
I can suggest a rather inelegant solution however: completely clear and redraw the screen every time the character moves. You then don''t need to specify a particular location on the screen after drawing other things.
