Animated Computer

youngcoder (12)
Hi, I'm new to C++, and am trying to write a program that creates an animated computer that displays random 1s and 0s on the screen.

I'm using \r to try and return to the next line, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

You probably have to rewrite the code to draw the whole PC every time.

The responses at stack overflow suggest you have to use a library otherwise.

on Windows you can use 'windows.h' an the functions:
SetConsoleCursorPosition() to set the new position in the console;
GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo() to retrieve some info about Console screen buffer (current position of cursor, size, ecc.)
