    with creative use of the gotoxy() function, you can easily create this game in console mode... im not sure if thats what you want to do, but its entirely possible...
    I came up with a cool phrase to put down here, but i forgot it...

    I think it's in conio.h for most compilers. But if you're like me, and use good ol MSVC, gotoxy won't be included but you could still write your own

    Code:
    void gotoxy(int x, int y)
    {
         HANDLE hOut = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
         COORD pos = {x, y};
         SetConsoleCursorPosition(hOut, pos);
    }
    I am against the teaching of evolution in schools. I am also against widespread
    literacy and the refrigeration of food.
