Thread: Help with Horizontal Scrolling ASCII image - "Hit Enter to continue...Esc to end"

I would like the coded ASCII image to scroll horizontally 3 times and then end with the message:

"Hit Enter to continue or Esc to end"

If Enter is pressed, the program should then continue to scroll another 3 times and then display the same message above.

If Esc is hit then the program loop should stop similar to an escape sequence.

Here is my code that partially accomplishes my objective:

Code:

// Professor.cpp : The entry point for the console application.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

using namespace std;

HANDLE console = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
COORD CursorPosition;

void gotoXY(int x, int y, string text);
void gotoXY(int x, int y);

int main(int)
{
    string Professor[]=
    {"                                     "
    ,"            _.-\"""""\"\"""""\"-._                "                    
    ,"           /.-......-.\\                   "
    ,"          //          \\\                   "                   
    ,"          ||          ||                   "

    ,"          /` ** || ** '\\                   "
    ,"          \\     /\\     /                   "
    ,"           |   (__)   |                  "
    ,"           |  ,____,  |                   "
    ,"            \\  `--'   /                   "
    ,"         _./`'.____.'`\\._                   "
    ,"     _.-'  \\  \\   /  /  '-._                   "
    ,"  /         \\  `\\/`  /         \\                   "
    ,"  /          \\./  \\./          \\                   "
    ,"  /                            \\                   "
    ,"                                     "};
    
    char holder = ' ';

    int len, x, y;

    len = Professor[0].length();
    
    do{
        for (y=0;y<17;y++)
        {
            gotoXY(17,1+y,Professor[y]);
        }
    
        for (y=0;y<17;y++)
        {
            holder = Professor[y][len];
            for (x=len;x>0;x--)
            {
                Professor[y][x]=Professor[y][x-1];
            }
            Professor[y][0]=holder;
        }

Sleep(120);
    }while(true);
return 0;
system("PAUSE");
}



void gotoXY(int x, int y, string text) 
{ 
    CursorPosition.X = x; 
    CursorPosition.Y = y; 
    SetConsoleCursorPosition(console,CursorPosition);
    cout << text;
}

void gotoXY(int x, int y) 
{ 
    CursorPosition.X = x; 
    CursorPosition.Y = y;
}

Thank you for your suggestions and comments.

Made some progress but still need help.
