Creating moving object. is any way to do it in other way?

Hey,

I get a problem with "graphics".

I wrote code, where u can just move certain object( f.x. an object is a symbol like a "@"), and i used getchar() to move it with keyboard buttons, i also used COUT to update my area, where is my object. The problem is, that every time i move my object (it doest matter in which direction) there refreshed all map (it's like a blink). And i understood that getchar() and COUT didnt suit to my idea to create game.

question: is any other way to create it ? It's better that windows.h will not included.

I drag my game here, u can check it, that all the time u move object, it REFRESH.
here:
Zippyshare.com - game.rar

THANKS

I also thought about windows.h HANDLE functions with STD_OUT. (it's bad ,that it demands windows.h :( )

You may want to look up SetConsoleCursorPosition and related functions (for MS Windows), so you can set the cursor and redraw only those characters that have changed.

Yes, that's nice, but what about compatibility with f.x. linux? i want to create program which can be run on platforms: ms windows & linux. there's anything else without windows.h?

But nice, i will check this function, u got it what i mean and u really help. By the way, if is any other way to AVOID the windows.h library, please, reply to me.

Not tried it myself but you could give PDCurses a try: PDCurses - Public Domain Curses

Why do you want to avoid including Windows.h?

Yes, i know NCURSES, but well i tried to make it with SetConsoleCursorPosition, and now i have no ideas how to create it by using this function. Can anyone tell me the right path how to do that using SetConsoleCursorPoasition? Thanks. Btw, i haven't a lot of expierence in WINDOWS environment, only half-basics knowledge. T_T

O_o

We probably could if you posted how you are using it.

I'm not going to download your archive.

If it is there, it is invisible to me.

I didn't create right program with this function and to sum up it's a crap, not a program, so i'm asking u how to use it in my situation? In internet i hadn't find any information linked with my purpose.

Post your code and your problem with it. We can't help you without it.

Actually, i need simple example how to use SetConsoleCursorPosition with objects controlling by kb keys.

Putting your whole post into google gave me this as first result. Not bad for a start. NCurses will be more portable. It probably has great tutorials, too.

Thanks, it helps a lot. Like it! And i solved my problem. GJ.
