    Can you show some code?
    If yes, we'll help.
    Else, tough.

    I removed your cross post, please don't do it again. Also, "urgent" in your title is bound to annoy a few people. May I suggest you read the rules before posting.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    gotoxy(x, y);
    printf("");
    pos = bioskey(0);
    if(pos == 's') { y = y + 1; }
    if(pos == 'w') { y = y - 1; }
    if(pos == 'a') { x = x - 1; }
    if(pos == 'd') { x = x + 1; }
    goto again;

    Do you know how to use arrays? You'll need to use a two-dimensional array which holds the map values. Then before you move the cursor, you check the array to make sure that spot isn't a wall.

    First you need to store the world in an array: WorldArray.
    Then check whether there is an obstacle in the direction you're walking.
    Code:
    enum
    {
       Left,
       Right,
       Up,
       Down
    };
    
    bool IsObstacle(int X, int Y)
    {
       return (WorldArray[X][Y] != ' ');
    }
    
    void Move(int Direction)
    {
       switch(Direction)
       {
          case Left:
             if(IsObstacle(PlayerX - 1, PlayerY) == false)
             {
                PlayerX--;
             }
             break;
    
          case Right:
             if(IsObstacle(PlayerX + 1, PlayerY) == false)
             {
                PlayerX++;
             }
             break;
    
          case Up:
             if(IsObstacle(PlayerX, PlayerY - 1) == false)
             {
                PlayerY--;
             }
             break;
    
          case Down:
             if(IsObstacle(PlayerX, PlayerY + 1) == false)
             {
                PlayerY++;
             }
             break;
       }
    }

    Maybe something like this:
    Code:
    char WordlArray[WIDTH][HEIGHT] =
    {{'X', 'X', ' ', 'X'},
     {'X', ' ', ' ', 'X'},
     {'X', ' ', 'X', 'X'},
     {'X', ' ', ' ', 'X'}};

    If this is what you mean:
    Code:
    char WordlArray[WIDTH][HEIGHT] =
    {{3, 3, 0, 3},
     {3, 0, 0, 3},
     {3, 0, 3, 3},
     {3, 0, 0, 3}};
    Then yes!

    Maybe he wants to use special characters that can't be typed from the keyboard?
