please help urgent!!!

[totalnewb++]

I have to create a 20 x 20 array (turtle program), I am sure you guys get these alot.. I have been working on this for way too long and I am not getting it.. I have read the chapter again and still am lost.. here is the code I have so far. I can't figure out where and how to get it to show the menu options so you can tell what you have the option of hitting to get the "turtle" to go where you want it and also how to display the grid after the turtle has moved... please help.. thank you,

I'd put a call to a function called showMenu() in getCommand() before doing your sequential if/elses. Then you can write out your menu in showMenu().

you can't do use the logical OR operator like this:

if(again!=1||2)

while(again!=1||2)

It has to be:
if(again != 1 || again != 2)

while(again != 1 || again != 2)

Once you have the pen down so you mark any changes you place the int representing the turtle at the floor[current_x][current_)y] coordinate. Then use nested for loop to display each int in the board, placing newline char strategically to get a board appearance as opposed to a big long line.

Wow your indentation is horrendous. How do you expect to fix any problems with a style like that? :eek:

return current_y,current_x;

You can only return one value from a function. Use [reference] parameters.
