Thread: Weird console game logic error...?

(WinXP, Borland C++ Free Command Line Compiler)
Ok, I made a short console game, you can move a dot around the screen. But, my barriers only work for up & down, left and right dont work for some odd reason. I have looked all around my code, and I tried swapping their values, but I dont understand why the barriers dont work, its just a simple if() function...

Well heres my code, its actualy pritty short:

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;

enum {
 ESC_KEY = 27,
 UP_ARROW = 256+72,
 DOWN_ARROW = 256+80,
 LEFT_ARROW = 256+75,
 RIGHT_ARROW = 256+77
};

int get_arrow();

HANDLE h = GetStdHandle ( STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE );
WORD Color;
CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO inf;  
CONSOLE_CURSOR_INFO Cur;

int main() {
 COORD Pos;
 COORD Pos2;
 int Counter;
 int c2;
 int buffer;
 int grid_x;
 int grid_y;
 
 clrscr();
 GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(h, &inf);
 Color = inf.wAttributes; 
 Cur.bVisible = FALSE;
 Cur.dwSize = 1;

 SetConsoleTextAttribute(h, BACKGROUND_RED | BACKGROUND_INTENSITY);
 SetConsoleCursorInfo(h, &Cur);
 SetConsoleTitle("Hi");


 for(Counter=0; Counter < 80; Counter++)
  for(c2=0; c2 < 25; c2++) {
   Pos.X = Counter;
   Pos.Y = c2;
   SetConsoleCursorPosition(h, Pos);
    if(Counter == 10 && c2 == 13)
     cout << "*" << endl;
    else
     cout << " " << endl;
 }
 Pos2.X = 0;
 Pos2.Y = 0;
 SetConsoleCursorPosition(h, Pos2);

 grid_x = 10;
 grid_y = 13;

 for(;;) {
  buffer = get_arrow();
  if(buffer == ESC_KEY) {
   clrscr();
   SetConsoleTextAttribute(h, Color);
   exit(0);
  }
  if(buffer == DOWN_ARROW)
   if(grid_y == 23)
    cout << "";
   else
    grid_y++;
  if(buffer == UP_ARROW)
   if(grid_y == 1)
    cout << "";
   else
    grid_y--;
  if(buffer == LEFT_ARROW)
   if(grid_y == 80)
    cout << "";
   else
    grid_x--;
  if(buffer == RIGHT_ARROW)
   if(grid_y == 1)
    cout << "";
   else
    grid_x++;
   for(Counter=0; Counter < 80; Counter++)
    for(c2=0; c2 < 25; c2++) {
     Pos.X = Counter;
     Pos.Y = c2;
     SetConsoleCursorPosition(h, Pos);
     if(Counter == grid_x && c2 == grid_y)
      cout << "*" << endl;
     else
      cout << " " << endl;
     SetConsoleCursorPosition(h, Pos2);
    }
   }
}

int get_arrow() {
 int ch = getch();
 
 if(ch == 0 || ch == 224)
  ch = 256 + getch();
 return ch;
}

I'm guessing I messed up somewhere simple, but I just cant find my problem.... I have looked at this four three hours, but I'm not getting anywhere, no matter what value I give it, it just lets me bring it off the screen... Any ideas?

Thank you very much in advanced!

Ahhh... How in hell did I miss that? Tyvm kurt!
