Replace getch (), gotoxy (), delay (), clrscr ()

Question

I have some old source code for a program that I wrote for the Turbo C compiler. I made changes to them and want to recompile them in new compilers for Linux and Windows. So please tell me what are the BEST alternative features

getch (), delay () / sleep (), clrscr (), GotoXY ()

for C and C ++.

Answer 1

Take a look at the ncurses library for Unix-compatible systems.

Answer 2

For Windows systems:

It is best to compile the program as a console application for windows.

Windows API . MSDN: Windows

:

• getch(): _getch() conio.h
• delay()/sleep(): Sleep() Windows
• clrscr(): clrscr() FillConsoleOutputCharacter() FillConsoleOutputAttribute()
• gotoxy(): SetConsoleCursorPosition()

Answer 3

Unix- escape- VT100 clrscr() gotoxy(). clrscr():

std::cout << "\033[2J" << std::flush;
