Can i make characters move on a dos screen without:
Code:include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout << "*************************\n"; cout << "* T *\n"; cout << "* *\n"; cout << "*************************\n"; system("CLS"); cout << "*************************\n"; cout << "* *\n"; cout << "* T *\n"; cout << "*************************\n"; }
This war, like the next war, is a war to end war.
Look up SetConsoleCursorPosition(), that should do what you need.
__ &n bsp; ___ & nbsp; &nb sp;   ;
/\ \ __ &nbs p; /\_ \   ; & nbsp;
\_\ \/\_\ ____ _ __\//\ \ __ __&n bsp; __
/'_` \/\ \/\_ ,`\ / __`\\ \ \ /\ \/\ \ /'__`\
/\ \_\ \ \ \/_/ /_/\ \_\ \\_\ \_\ \ \_/ |/\ __/
\ \___,_\ \_\/\____\ \____//\____\\ \___/ \ \____\
\/__,_ /\/_/\/____/\/___/ \/____/ \/__/ \/____/
&n bsp; I have a BAD figlet& nbsp;addiction.
I use conio.h (mostly because my Windows and DOS compilers both have it) and therefore use: gotoxy(x, y);
My compiler also has color support in conio.h, but I know VC++ doesn't (I've already tried).Code:void drawchar(x, y, icon) { gotoxy(x, y); putch(icon); }
You shoot look at Dos Programming
It's Win32 Console not DOS,
Blizzarddog plz tell us what compiler youre using
answer
i have instalt a compiler but it doesn't workso i cot e other one but it's not working because it's c++ but it doeen't do it good
compiler 1 : microsoft visual studio 6.0
compiler 2 : dev-ccp
Dev C++ with Gnu.
What do i need to include for gotoxy(x, y)?
This war, like the next war, is a war to end war.
hmm, conio isnt a standard ansi C function so it doesnt have to be there, but gotoxy is usually in conio. ALthough Ive noticed dev c++ is missing a few of those dos-like functions.
why not try something like this:
you can avoid having to deal with the blinking cursor, although I donno if this will work as a windows console program.Code:unsigned char far *VidPtr=0xB8000000; int PutChar(int x, int y, unsigned char c) { *VidPtr[y*80+x]=c; return 0; }

well if youa are using gotoxy you can do this..
Every time you put a char on screen.. store x and y in a variable.. when displaying again clear the previous place..
Or even sometin like this will work...
Code:# include <iostream.h> # include <conio.h> int main() { clrscr(); for(int i=0;i<20;i++) { gotoxy(i,10); cout<<"t"; delay(100); gotoxy(i,10); cout<<" "; } retirn 0; }
