Oh...my bad I thought Elmgon just used normal Dual-Layers. I thought Serenity was the only thing that used shifted ones.

But glad to hear about the progress

Oh right...I had forgotten how Dual-Layers are set. My bad

shifted duel layer?

I think that will always be basically your thing

How are you doing maps? That doesn't look like normal Dual-Layer mapping...unless I'm just out of it

I know that system() is relatively Windows specific but for the purposes of my class that is what we are supposed to use for the most part to get the program from just starting, running, and finishing.

Edit:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;
void move(int direction,int &x,int &y)
{
if(direction=='w')
{
y-=(y!=1);
}
else if(direction=='s')
{
y+=(y!=11);
}
else if(direction=='a')
{
x-=(x!=1);
}
else if(direction=='d')
{
x+=(x!=11);
}
else {;}
return;
}
void display(int x,int y)
{
cout<<"*************\n";
for(int i=0;i<11;i++)
{
if(i+1==y)
{
cout<<"*"<<setw(x)<<"X"<<setw(13-x)<<"*\n";
}
else
{
cout<<"*           *\n";
}
}
cout<<"*************\n";
}

int main()
{
int x=6;
int y=6;
int direction=27;
do
{
move(direction,x,y);
display(x,y);
direction=getch();
system("cls");
}while(direction!='q');
system("pause");
return 0;
}

WOO! That was the key right there! Thanks, Netham!

New modified code to work how I originally intended it to:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;
void move(int direction,int &x,int &y)
{
if(direction==119)
{
y-=(y!=1);
}
else if(direction==115)
{
y+=(y!=11);
}
else if(direction==97)
{
x-=(x!=1);
}
else if(direction==100)
{
x+=(x!=11);
}
else {;}
return;
}
void display(int x,int y)
{
cout<<"*************\n";
for(int i=0;i<11;i++)
{
if(i+1==y)
{
cout<<"*"<<setw(x)<<"X"<<setw(13-x)<<"*\n";
}
else
{
cout<<"*           *\n";
}
}
cout<<"*************\n";
}

int main()
{
int x=6;
int y=6;
int direction=27;
do
{
move(direction,x,y);
display(x,y);
direction=getch();
system("cls");
}while(direction!=113);
system("pause");
return 0;
}
Note:
Normal WASD keys to move. Q to quit.

I can't get it to work. It keeps saying there is an undeclared identifier and that it is expecting an assignment operator instead of does-not-equal. So I'm not sure if I'm just missing something or if something is going on.

I'm a teacher's aide and today the class was taking a quiz so I was pretty bored. So I decided to make a little walking man program using the console window...considering I can't do much else that's what I was limited to haha. Anywho, here is the code.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

void move(char direction,int &x,int &y)
{
if(direction=='w')
{
y-=(y!=1);
}
else if(direction=='s')
{
y+=(y!=11);
}
else if(direction=='a')
{
x-=(x!=1);
}
else if(direction=='d')
{
x+=(x!=11);
}
else {;}
return;
}
void display(int x,int y)
{
cout<<"*************\n";
for(int i=0;i<11;i++)
{
if(i+1==y)
{
cout<<"*"<<setw(x)<<"X"<<setw(13-x)<<"*\n";
}
else
{
cout<<"*           *\n";
}
}
cout<<"*************\n";
}

int main()
{
int x=6;
int y=6;
char direction='z';
while(direction!='q')
{
move(direction,x,y);
display(x,y);
cin>>direction;
system("cls");
}
system("pause");
return 0;
}
There really is no purpose to this code at all. Just a little fun. Probably not even the best written code either. If you guys want to make suggestions I am all for them.

Note:
I know of no way of detecting key presses in C++ so that is why you need to input a W, A, S, or D to move him. Also, if you put him in the top-left corner and paste in "ddddddddddssssssssssaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwsssssddddd" it will do a little box and then go to the middle. Ya...

Anywho, enjoy this random program.
