moving 2 characters simultaneously
hi, guys. im using Borland c++ and I was just wondering if it is possible to move 2 characters which are at different positions on the dos window simultaneously.
EXAMPLE: suppose you start with 2 characters and one character(suppose 'a') is located at (2,1) while the other character(suppose 'b') is located at (1,2). is it possible to move 'a' horizontally towards the right and 'b' vertically downwards at the same time?

You may need to give a little bit more info, I get the idea of what you want to do but it would depend allot on what your are doing already.
My first thought would be to have a screen buffer, move to characters within the buffer and an then write the buffer to the screen.

Computer screens only update every ~17ms. Unless the move requires really intense calculations it should be impossible for it NOT to appear simultaneous on a fast, modern PC. In any case, if you're worried about graphics performance... Think outside the (DOS) box and learn a graphics package.
