Thread: Buffer Problem Maybe?

Code:

void ReadString(string Text, int speed)
{
    int Tet = Text.size();
    int i = 0;
    for(i = 0;i < Tet;i++)
    {
       cout << Text[i];
       Sleep(speed);
       if(kbhit())
       {
           getch();
           speed = 1;
       }
    }
}

void ReadString(string Text, int speed, int times)
{
    int Tet = Text.size();
    int i = 0;
    int x = 0;
    for(x = 0;x <times;x++)
    {
        for(i = 0;i < Tet;i++)
        {
           cout << Text[i];
           Sleep(speed);
           if(kbhit())
           {
               getch();
               speed = 1;
           }
        }
    }
}
void SetupPlayerArea() // Requires gotoxy //Windows.h //namespace std
{
            gotoxy(0,20);
            SetConsoleTextAttribute( GetStdHandle( STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE ), 0xE5 );
            string Playerline = "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------";
            string Blanks =     "                                                                                ";
            ReadString(Playerline,0);
            ReadString(Blanks,0,4);
            ReadString(Playerline,0);
            gotoxy(0,0);
}

Now what this does is it makes the bottom of the screen yellow with hyphens through the top and bottom row. But whenever i use this it creates a row of yellow background below the bottom hyphen like
HYPHEN LINE
BLANK LINE
BLANK LINE
BLANK LINE
BLANK LINE
HYPHEN LINE
BLANK LINE
And i cant see why this is occuring :/. Also the hypen line is suppose to be the bottom of the console window cause ive set the window size to 800 x - 350 y and the buffer size to 80 x and 26 y

You may use windows functions to deal with console, this way you practice Win32 API and you will really know whats going on.

BTW, to debug a code make assumptions about value of variables during execution and test them using a debugger. I values or states are not what they are supposed to be trace them back to when they are changed in a wrong way.
