Any peeps in here know how to.....

anyone know how to move the character @ up, down, left, and right when the specific buttons are pressed?
dank you

Like this?:

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void main()
{
  char ch;
  int x = 10, y = 10;

  gotoxy(x, y);
  cout << "@";

  while(1)
  {
      ch = getch();
      gotoxy(x, y);
      cout << " ";

      switch(ch)
      {
        case 'a': x--;
                  break;

        case 's': x++;
                  break;

        case 'z': y++;
                  break;

        case 'w': y--;
                  break;

        default: exit(0);
      }

      gotoxy(x, y);
      cout << "@";
  }
}

Sorry about not commenting....

well, not like that. that code closes when a button is pressed. How about using the getch(); command??

What do you mean the code closes when a button is pressed?

And, if you pay attention to the code, you'll notice I do indeed use getch().

Press [a] to move the character left.
Press [s] to move the character right.
Press [w] to move the character up.
Press [z] to move the character down.

Hope that helps...
