moving around in an array with arrow keys

Mar 3rd, 2006

i am totally stumped on what to do here. basically whats goin on is i have a 3D dynamic array and i need to have a cursor inside of it and move around on the inside. i do i go about doing that? like i said im completely stumped.

here is my code:

What's definitions.h?

Supply the file if it has changed from your previous post. Some of your for loops... the variable should be initialised as int c. You've missed that.

Change void main to int main.

What exactly do you mean have a cursor in the 3d array?

Re: moving around in an array with arrow keys

This code has it's problems but it's the best I could come up with on the fly.

It doesn't check beyond the bounds of the grid, so be careful of overflow.

The letter 'P' indicates the player.

Use the arrow keys to move it up and down. Maybe?

It's good to know that someone gets some use out of that function.

I'm here to prove you wrong.

Lord knows I got that from somewhere else. Tee he

[edit] Actually I think some of that directional key moving stuff
was written, or credited to you [/edit]

>Lord knows I got that from somewhere else.
cprogramming.com, I imagine. Probably from the programming FAQ where some crazy person named Prelude wrote a HOWTO for using the directional keys in a console mode program.
