thanks tabstop,

with the draw function it will keep everything the same - except it will draw the latest contents of the 2D array each time. I'll put this all in a while loop until EOF is pressed....

Alright, I have that problem solved - i'll update these threads as I get some ideas.

thanks guys,

is there a more efficient way of doing the above? I'm very new to C so I've never heard of conio. I'm using cygwin and context as a university page listed that as the bare minimum...

I'm trying to print out a checkers board that resembles this

ahhh,

thanks for that.

I was implying - filling an 18x19 array up with all the numbers 1-8, letters A-H, and all the pieces - that way when printing the array out it can be done with two...

on second thought - wouldn't it be easier to have one 2D character array with all pieces, numbers, letters, bars etc - then drawing it with 2 for loops every time would be easier?

Brb redoing...

wow that was fast!

Thanks for the quick replies.

I've fixed the array boundaries - I guess thats why I kept going over.

Here is what I have so far.
