I am a beginner in c++. There is a big vacation right now.So i want to make a little console game as I have not learned any graphics


So my question is How to move a object for eg. $ this is my hero and player if player presses some key for the time being lets say if player presses (I) it should move up. if pressed K it should move down Like that The key doesn't matter

And can I really make a console game I have learned many things in a whole year.

For event handling you need to use OS API or third party libraries, because standard c++ doesn't provide this. It's OS specific thing

In Windows, you can use SetConsoleCursorPosition to "jump" to the position your hero currently is, then overwrite him with a space. After that you can recreate him somewhere else the same way.
