First and foremost please use codetags whenever you post code on the forums. They are the <> box right off to the right under Format: when your replying.

But on to your question, I'm not really sure what you mean by robot is flickering while moving. But the main thing I see is thisvoid main() main is a int not a void. It should be int main() I don't know what IDE your using that doesn't put our a error for that but I would consider upgrading.

[DesiredNote]

I don't know what IDE your using that doesn't put our a error for that but I would consider upgrading.

His IDE has nothing to do with the errors given by the compiler. It's his compiler that needs to be "upgraded", not his IDE.

[3qX21hU5]

Yes that is true but for beginners the two usually go hand in hand so just thought I would say IDE since really all updated modern IDE's come with up to date compilers.
