How do you make

how do you make something move x and y relative?

MOVE (x=4, y=0) RELATIVE?
(don't pay attention to above, its just like a lucky guess)

what are you trying to move?

without knowing what you want to move how can we be sure to answer correctly.
for a character you could do something like:

move down screen first
for(loop=0; loop<vertical; loop++);

then move across the screen
for(loop=0; loop<horizontal; loop++);

trying to move an object up down left and right

have the dependant variable(s) be updated at every interval upon which the independant variable(s) are updated [being functions of them... redefine them...] is that is?

meaning..............?

What is the object you are trying to move?

Is it a graphic?
Text?
The cursor?
Your computer (out the window)?
A house?

It totally depends on what you are trying to move. If you want to move the cursor use gotoxy() in conio.h. If it is anything else, specify what it is and we can give you a better idea on how to do it.

I am trying to move a (@) or a (§)
