My code works successfully and all, but I have a question. How do I just make the object move w/o showing the user where it previously was? If you guys or girls don't understand what I mean, please make a blank project and copy paste this code in your visual studio c++. I've always wanted to know but no one has shown me. Anyway, Thank You Again Forum and Thank You Again Forum Users And Members. Good Night Everyone. =)

I have not read all of your code, but from a quick scan I would suggest printing a space where the character used to be.

[Zvjezdan23]

so i could use an if statement couldn't I? like if user input = d then i make a blank space behind the previous movement?

[Labdabeta]

I would suggest a switch statement. If the user enters the 'down' key, then move the character down, draw it and draw a space in the old position. I feel very strongly that fixing movement to WASD is a bad idea. It should be WASD by default, but should be able to be changed (this is coming from a Dvorak keyboard user. WASD is spread out all over my layout!). Here is the general idea behind what I am saying:

putAt(player.position.x,player.position.y,' ');
switch (user_input)
{
    case up_key:
    --(player.position.y);
    break;
    case right_key:
    ++(player.position.x);
    break;
    case down_key:
    ++(player.position.y);
    break;
    case left_key:
    --(player.position.x);
    break;
    default:
    //what do you want to do here?
}
putAt(player.position.x,player.position.y,player.characterRepresentation);

Of course that code is very much general, you would have to modify it to fit your needs.

[Zvjezdan23]

where did you define putAt??? or is that inside of the library?

[Labdabeta]

putAt was just a place holder for what would have to be some kind of platform dependent code. In your case a viable implementation would be:

void putAt(int x, int y, char chr)
{
    COORD loc;
    loc.X=x;
    loc.Y=y;
    SetConsoleCursorPosition(hConsole,loc);
    cout<<chr;
}
