dos game help

i am working on a very simple dos game that can run even on xp here is the code

Code:

---

// mover.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"

int winarray[20][12];
int move(int where);

enum
{
  KEY_ESC    = 27,
  ARROW_UP    = 256 + 72,
  ARROW_DOWN  = 256 + 80,
  ARROW_LEFT  = 256 + 75,
  ARROW_RIGHT = 256 + 77
};

static int get_code ( void )
{
  int ch = getch();

  if ( ch == 0 || ch == 224 )
    ch = 256 + getch();

  return ch;
}


int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
        char ch;
        int count,count2,mover;
        for(count=0;count<20;count++)
                winarray[count][0]=1;
        for(count=0;count<12;count++){
                winarray[1][count]=1;
                winarray[20][count]=1;
        }
mover=2;
winarray[1][1]=mover;
winarray[1][2]=mover;
winarray[2][1]=mover;
winarray[2][2]=mover;

        for(count=0;count<20;count++){
                if(count<12){
                        switch(winarray[count][count]){
                        case 0:{
                                printf(" ");
                                  break;
                                  }
                        case 1:{
                                printf(".");
                                  break;
                                  }
                        case 2:{
                                printf("[]");
                                  }
                        }
                }
                if(count<=20){
                        switch(winarray[count][12]){
                        case 0:{
                                printf(" ");
                                break;
                                  }
                        case 1:{
                                printf(".");
                                  }
                        case 2:{
                                printf("[]");
                        }
                }
                if(count==20){
                        printf("\n");
                }
        }
while ( ( ch = get_code() ) != KEY_ESC ) {
    switch ( ch ) {
        case ARROW_UP:{
system("cls");
move(1);
break;
}
        case ARROW_DOWN:{
system("cls");
move(2);
break;
}
        case ARROW_LEFT{
system("cls");
move(3);
break;
        }
        case ARROW_RIGHT{
system("cls");
move(4);
break;
        }
}
                                       

        return 0;
}


int move(int where){
        switch(where){
        case 1:{}                /*move up*/
        case 2:{}                /*move down*/
        case 3:{}                /*move left*/
        case 4:{}                /*move right*/
        }

return 0;
}

what the hell do you mean by formmatting?? no really i dont know what you are talking about please explain

Well, formatted code:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

int main( void )
{
  std::cout << "Hello!!!";
  return 0;
}

---

Unformatted code:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

int main(void)
{
std::cout<<"Hello!!!";
return 0;
}

---

Semi-formatted code (looks bad):

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

int main(void)
{
  std::cout<< "Hello!";
return 0;
}

---

So, having spaces and sort of a "standard" spacing. So, my rule is after every brace there should be a new line and two spaces. Yours could be a tab, three spaces, four etc., etc. See, your code has spaces and then goes done to the next line, no spaces and stuff like that. Although, this may not happen in your compiler and only on the board.

i dont see any difference

do you see anything anything wrong with this code

ok i am having a problem with the above code when i want to move something up or left it will have already chose what to put there and will be filled with what ever it is supposed to be but i need to somehow get around this problem should i just abandon the concept that i am using by using for loops or is there a function that will do that for me i hate wasting peoples time because i know that there are people out there that are using this for more important reasons

>>I don't see any difference
The difference is, some have proper tabs and some don't. Maybe I can make it more clear:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
int main() { std::cout <<
"Hello world!"
        ;
                                        for(int i = 0;
  i < 5; ++i)
                        {
          std::cout << i;
      }
return 0;
  }

That is bad formatting. Bad formatting hard to read. Bad formatting is bad.

And I can't understand your question, because
1) you didn't punctuate your sentences and so its hard to figure out what youre talking about and stuff how about you add some periods to your post that will make it easier to understand that way we can figure out where one thought ends and another begins ok sound good?
2) "it will have already chose what to put there and will be filled with whatever it is supposed to be" doesn't make sense to me. Rephrase your question please.
