Seting coordinates of a character?
Author
I''m a newbie programmer, just started learning C++ a few months ago.
Here is my dilema...
I have a programming project for school. This project is a win32 consol app. I''m using C++ for all of my programming and I''m wondering if there is a way to set a character to a certain (x, y) position on the screen.
My task is to create a gameboard (like chess) for our groups game. I have the board done, but I need a way to place characters inside the squares. This would be rather easy if there was a way to set the characters X Y coordinates and display that character at that location.
How would I do this?
Any help would be, well... helpfull. Thanks

HBITMAP image = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(blablabla);
HDC hdcimage = CreateCompatibleDC(mainDC);
SelectObject(mainDC,hdcimage);
BitBlt(mainDC,positionX,positionY,imageXwidth,imageYwidth,hdcimage,0,0,SRCCOPY);
The positionX and positionY are the variable that tells the location of the image.

Are you drawing the game with ASCII or mode 13h or something?
I know there are ways to move the ASCII cursor''s position in a win32 console app.. try looking up keywords console cursor on MSDN.

SetConsoleCursorPosition()

The gotoxy() function is (sadly) not a standard function, so the above example will only work with the few C libraries that support it (AFAIK only the one supplied with Borland''s compilers, but perhaps a few others as well).

This is with ascii characters.
I know how to do this in windows programming, but not with a console application.
(I'm using Microsoft Visual c++ 6.0) The gotoxy didn't work,
'gotoxy' : undeclared identifier

SetConsoleCursorPosition()! Look it up in MSDN.
