Thread: ClearScreen so bad you cant see anything

Invaderz game: original one: just help me: need more: just ask:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <dos.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fstream.h>

int x = 10;
int y = 24;
int bx = 1;
int by = 5;
int bux;
int buy;
int lorr = 0;
int bull = 0;
int tmer = 0;

int main()
{
while(1)
{
gotoxy(x, y);
putch('^');
gotoxy(bx, by);
putch('-');
if (tmer == 100)
{
if (bx == 1)
bull = 0;
if (bx == 80)
bull = 1;
if (bull == 1)
bx = bx - 1;
if (bull == 0)
bx = bx + 1;
tmer = 0;
}
if (kbhit())
{
char movement = getch();

if (movement == 27)
break;

if (movement == 75)
{
if (x != 1)
x = x - 1;
}

if (movement == 77)
{
if (x != 80)
x = x + 1;
}
}
tmer = tmer + 1;
delay(1);
clrscr();
}
return 0;
}

wait...are you mad because ClearScreen is clearing the screen? That's what the title sounds like...LOL...

i put break there so it'll break outta the while statement which will end the program ^_^

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Im using clrscr(); so that it wount have a trail of movement, but, its being used to often and you cant see yourself nor the badguy

oohh ok hehe welcome to C++!

delay(1) 1=msec
put sleep(1) or delay(1000);

also

you don't need to clear whole screen just clear the cols where the character was previously.

how do you NOT clear the whole screen?or how do you prevent cols where the character was previously?

heh what a good idea
