Hello

I have this code bellow i need some help with. im trying to make a number game but i have a problem that i cant solve, the loop i made dosent update the grid like it's supposed to do. when you first start it you will se 2 grids with numbers in them like the ones bellow. one is the grid im going to play in and the other is a goal grid, howwever the problem is that then i press any of the buttons "W A S D" it only lopps the textline " cout << "You move by using W A S D on you keyboard: ";" how can i make it also look the "start" grid ?

*note: inside goal.txt and start.txt is currently this*

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 X

Hmmm it's not very clear what the problem actually is...but I think the reason why its looping that text is because you forgot to clear the cin stream. Use this line:

cin.clear();
cin.ignore(cin.rdbuf()->in_avail());

Put that before every 'cin' line you use to clear excess characters from being reaad from the last cin statement.
