2D tank program (sky view)

[mmeyer49]

im working a pretty advance program which is a huge jump from what we were doing.
1) im having problems displaying the grid and the robots. its suposed to refresh each time the rounds end.
2)Not really sure on how to assemble my functions =/ the most functions we ever use prior to this was 3. So any advice or help would be much loved=D
3) if you notice any error in my code or and easier way, please point it out.

Any advice or help at all will be absorbed and put to good use

Anyone able to help?

It will make your life easier if you explicitly specify the number of rows in addition to the number of columns in your array.

In your display function this won't work:
cout << (char){201,205,209,205,209,205,209,205,209,205,209,205,209,205,209,205,209,205,209,205,187},.......

You need to output elements of an array one at a time, with the one exception to my knowledge being a string. Therefore you should use syntax that does that. One commonly used protocol looks something like this:

for(int i = 0; i < numRows; ++i)
  for(int j = 0; j < numCols; ++j)
    cout << arrayGrid[i][j];

[mmeyer49]

So you are talking about something like this?

void printgrid(char grid[][10],int h,int w)    //create grid
{
     for(int i = 0;i < h;i++)
     {
             for(int j = 0;j < w;j++)
             {
                     cout << grid[i][j] << '.';
             }
     cout <<endl;
     }
}

Yes.

Since you are using integers in a char array you may (or may not, I don't have a lot of experience trying it) need to cast the int to a char like you did in your original post, but the important point is you need to ouput each element of an array separately unless it is being used as a string (there may be other exceptions, too, but if so I am not aware of them).
