Tortoise Hare Race

aspirewire (20)
Ok so I have a code for the race and it works, but I need to add a finish line to the right hand side of the page when it's printed out. How do I do that? Also is there a way I can slow down the rate the T & H are printed out?

It might help if you showed us the output you expect in [quote] tags.
aspirewire (20)
well it's going to be quite a few lines and it'll differ each time, an example of one line I have now is

____________T_______________H___________


and what I want it to look like

____________T_______________H___________|


where _ is a space

Ok I got the finish line in there, but how do I delay?

For a delay, you could use #include <windows.h> and then call Sleep(??); with ?? being the milliseconds wanted for a delay. 1000 milliseconds being, of course, 1 second.
