Drawing something in console by x,y

[Sixx93]

Hi all, since tomorrow i have an exam of C++ at school, i'm writing some functions and programms to take practice... I think that this class i'm sharing will be usefull to someone... It's a class with function used to draw something u want in the console by giving the x and y coordinates... It's easy to use i used it in a game created by me to move by keyboard a little character enjoy

class Coords{ public: int x,y;};

class Piano{ public: Coords punto;	//give the x,y coords of the point
					void DrawPoint(int spazio);//self explanatory xD
					char* symbol;//the symbol you want to draw
};

void Piano::DrawPoint(int spazio)
{
	
		for(int j=0; j<punto.y; j++)
			cout<<"\n";
		for(int j=0; j<punto.x; j++)
			cout<<" ";
		cout<<symbol;

		for(int i=0; i<spazio; i++)
			cout<<endl;
}

int main()
{	
	Piano a;

	a.punto.x = 110;
	a.punto.y = 210;
	a.symbol = "X";

	a.DrawPoint(5);

	
	system("pause");

	return 0;
}

The source has got the main function as test of the classes

SetConsoleCursorPosition() is way easier ^^

And you don't have to write blank spaces.

Image if you want to draw 2 Dots... You will probably overwrite the other one with a blank space

~Example of use on the above one.

i didn't know that function xD anyway, to evade the problem of overwrite, i used system("cls"); in a loop

But that will clear the whole console
If you want 2 Dots or 3.. or 4. At the same time. You might have Problems, if you know what i mean.

Can't download tho..

But i guess you are Cleaning the Console Screen, then re-writing all again? right?
