Changing or updating output

Hey

I'm having trouble figuring out how to change an out putted result, because I don't really know what to search for.

An example would be a tic tac toe game where the board is printed using underline "____" and pipes "|" Then when the player picks where they want to put their x, instead of printing out a whole new updated board, the old board is updated.

Sorry, I'm not very good at explaining something like this.

You will likely have to use some sort of non-standard method for accomplishing this (maybe the backspace character is standard, I'm not sure).

Try adrianxw's console tutorial for ideas on how to do this.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

EDIT: Well I found adrian's site but I wasn't able to find his tutorials. I did find this

Code:

---

void gotoxy(int x, int y) 
{
        HANDLE hConsoleOutput;
        COORD dwCursorPosition;

        dwCursorPosition.X = x;
        dwCursorPosition.Y = y;
        hConsoleOutput = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
        SetConsoleCursorPosition(hConsoleOutput,dwCursorPosition);
}

I think it is what I need, but I don't know.

Youre using windows?
here is a port of ncurses to it. it is able to do what you want and much more. you can think of it as a kind of gui-framework for the terminal.

Thats what I was looking for, thank you.

Hey, I can't find any tutorials over WinCurses and I'm not quite sure how I use it. Do I just need to include the CURSES.H? Then how can I learn how to use it?

as the author mention it's a port of ncurses I guess
