Thread: gotoxy

when i use it to move a @ around the screen just right and down first i have to hold 1 or 2 down before it even moves then it starts to be like if you hit 2 some times it goes over instead of down heres my code:

Code:

int main()
{
char in;
int x = 0;
int y = 0;

gotoxy(0, 0);
cout<<"@"<<endl;

while(1 == 1)
{
in = getch();

switch(in)
{
case '1':
clrscr();
gotoxy(x++, y);
cout<<"@"<<endl;
break;
case '2':
clrscr();
gotoxy(x, y++);
cout<<"@"<<endl;
break;
}
}
}

gotoxy(x++, y);

x is incremented after the gotoxy is performed. You would like to increment it before that happens. gotoxy(++x, y);
Likewise in the y-line.

thanks man
