Greetings,
Writing your own version of gotoxy() and clrscr() would probably be for the best. They can be found all over the place, but the best ones I've found were:
#include <iostream.h>
#include <windows.h>
void gotoxy(short x, short y) {
HANDLE hConsoleOutput;
COORD Cursor_Pos = {x, y};
hConsoleOutput = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
SetConsoleCursorPosition(hConsoleOutput, Cursor_Pos);
}
void clrscr(void) {
CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO csbi;
HANDLE hStdOut = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
COORD coord = {0, 0};
DWORD count;
GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(hStdOut, &csbi);
FillConsoleOutputCharacter(hStdOut, ' ', csbi.dwSize.X * csbi.dwSize.Y, coord, &count);
SetConsoleCursorPosition(hStdOut, coord);
}
Doing the rest is quite simple. Here's a simple layout of how this can be accomplished:
- Create a function to update the player's position. Have it clear the screen everytime this is called
- Use an infinite while loop and get the key pressed using getch()
- Call a switch case and find out which key was pressed and where to update the players position
That should get you to a good start, and good luck.
