Question on displaying text at screen coordinates

[jontoby]

I need help on how to display text in screen coordinates and not rely in \t control characters. Thanks

Solution for Windows:

void gotoxy( int column, int line )
  {
  COORD coord;
  coord.X = column;
  coord.Y = line;
  SetConsoleCursorPosition(
    GetStdHandle( STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE ),coord);
  }

If you are using Linux, you'll have to use Curses library.
EDIT: You can use Curses on Windows too.
