Moving Character

[hhello1234]

I have a board where a character is. I need to ask the user whether they want to move it up, down, left right. They are allowed to enter 3 move per turn. like up, up, left. How do I do this?

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;

const int COL = 17;
const int ROW = 17;

void initializeBoard(char [][COL], int, int);
void displayBoard(char [][COL], int, int);
int main()
{
    char board[ROW][COL];
 initializeBoard(board, ROW, COL);
    displayBoard(board, ROW, COL);

    return 0;
}

void initializeBoard(char theBoard [][COL], int row, int col)
{
    for(int r = 0; r < ROW; r++)
    {
        for(int c = 0; c < COL; c++)
        {
            theBoard[r][c] = '.'; //250
        }
    }

    for(int c = 0; c < COL; c++)
    {
        theBoard[0][c] = '__'; // 205
        theBoard[ROW-1][c] = '__'; //205
    }
    for(int r = 0; r < row; r++)
    {
        theBoard[r][0] = '|'; //186
        theBoard[r][COL-1] = '|'; //186
    }
    theBoard[0][0] = '   '  ; //201
    theBoard[0][COL-1] = '   '; //187
    theBoard[ROW-1][0] = '   '; //200
    theBoard[ROW-1][col-1] = '   '; //188

}

//Prints Board
void displayBoard(char theBoard [][COL], int row, int col)
{
    for(int r = 0; r < ROW; r++)
    {
        for(int c = 0; c < COL; c++)
        {
            cout << theBoard[r][c];// << ' ';
        }
        cout << endl;
    }
}
