Never mind, I found it.

There is a really easy way to make this game but it is too hard to explain to someone that does not know a lot of C++. A good book to get to learn the basic concepts of making computer games is "Tricks of the Game Programming Gurus". Only get that book if you are using a dos compiler or a windows compiler that can compile in dos mode.(which most can do like visual C++). If you don't want to buy a book then look on the internet for "grid based computer games". That is the key to making this game.
I should be moving this topic, but I won't. Not while it's helping me.
1. I am having a heck of a time getting the console screen to clear on demand. sys("cls") works on PCs, but on CW nothing does.
2. getchar() is acting weird on me. Isn't it supposed to produce output like "AAbbCC11"? Instead I get this (typed exactly): a
a a B B 1 1
etc. Is getchar() just one of those console things that don't serve a purpose in true Mac programming, or what? Thanks.

hmm. I don't know. Does it really matter? The console is only good for learning programming, and quick tests. Maybe you could just do several returns ("n", I think...) to fake it.

What does getchar() do?

I guess if you don't know what getchar() does, I don't need to know it. The quicker I bail out of console programming, the better.
I will be moving this to "Just Chat", since it doesn't apply to FW.
