Coordinates

[Smoki]

Does anyone have an idea how can i get the coordinates so i will know where am i typing when i use coordinates.

Like

x=5, y=20; i know approximately where that is, but i need the exact thing.

To do this you have to use goto coordinates.

The line of code would look like this:

gotoxy(12,15);cout << "text goes here";

but to make this work in your code, you need to create a function to understand the above coide.. here is one i created for my games:

void gotoxy( int x, int y ) 
{ 
    COORD c; 

	c.X = x - 1 ; 
 	c.Y = y - 1 ; 
 	
 	// TO REMEMBER: 1ST NUMBER SPACES IN :: 2ND NUMBER SPACES DOWN

	SetConsoleCursorPosition( GetStdHandle( STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE ), c ) ; 
}

You also need to understand that the above code requires <windows.h> and will only run on the Windows operating system. There is no standard way.

This is a platform dependant operation. These details would be appropriate now. You might look into:

Low-level I/O <= Windows
NCURSES (?) <= *nix

Edit: do you just wanna move the cursor around with that "gotoxy" or do you want to recieve notifications of user input in character cell coordinates?
