Console Flicker

[kartracer12]

So i have a game similar to space invaders and there is an enemey ship that scrolls across the top of the screen. every time it moves, the screen must be cleared and redrawn, and thats when i get a flicker. the game works fine but i was just wondering if i could stop the flickering and make the game seem smoother. i use visual c++ express and it is made in a win32 console app.

Use ncurses and similar libraries to get that kind of interface.
Alternatively, you can use the WINAPI, but then you lose the portability.
