C++: clrscr() and getch() ?

[shad0w]

Hi folks,

I'm seeking for an unix/osx replacement for getch() and clrscr()?

any ideas?

thanks a lot

umm, what do they do?

 

[shad0w]

clrscr() clears the console screen and getch() is an input function for one single character ...

try this fro getch

i dont know about a clear screen function. i vaguely remember doing using something to do just that back in the day, but i have no idea what. for what its worth, you could just issue the system command maybe?

Well, there is a getch() function on Mac OS X, just do a man on it. I imagine it will be the same as whatever you used on windows/linux/whatever. To clear the screen, use system("clear"); which will execute the unix clear command, and clear the current screen.
