I am trying to get my program to take the input of the user on the bottom of the screen in an input area, and show the output on the rest of the screen (hoping to use printf, or something very similar). I am also hoping to have a small amount of ASCII art work on the sides of the screen about the input section. My team mate and I have been messing with buffers and such, but not had much luck. This is a Win32 console application. Can anyone help? Thanks

Well you could update the entire screen (first by clearing it) every time input is given. If not then you will have to use something like the gotoxy to move around and output to different x, y coordiniates. Try looking on MSDN sense this is a Win32 console application for some console functions that you can use.
This way you can create your own gotoxy which would work on any Windows compiler.
Hope that helps.
