Although it's not for VC++ you can look through the code of cyber_azis and find some answers. There is a Borland library adapted for Dev-Cpp (another C++ compiler) that gives you the opportunity to create console graphics. There is a topic on this and more detailed explonation in the code snippets section of this site. Good luck.

I've posted something like this before 2 years ago.

The downloads appear to be still there.

Probably the easiest way to accomplish it is to use a set of bitmaps. One each for U, L, R and D. Then draw the bitmaps instead of the ball.

I could take the time and do it for you, but I don't think you'll actually understand the code. If you've just started to learn Windows programming, I suggest taking the time to understand things slowly before jumping into everything.

Here's a list of Windows programming tutorials.
