    Yes.

    >i just realy dont know how to do it
    Neither do we. You didn't specify what OS/compiler you're using, so there isn't really much we can do to help.
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    Code:
    #include <windows.h>
    
    void mygotoxy ( int x, int y )
    {
      COORD dwCursorPosition = { x, y };
      SetConsoleCursorPosition ( GetStdHandle ( STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE ), dwCursorPosition );
    }
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    AdrianXW's site has a lot of tutorials for manipulating the console, too.
    Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah
