the code is posted below but what i'm having troubles with is around line 153 at the end of func2 and what i want it to do is only refresh the array but let the user still input and then increase the sleep speed, or to say make the array refresh faster, and i don't know how to do that. any ideas? any questions go ahead and ask.

Hi , system("cls");
is not used for clearing the buffer or an array it is used to clear the screen .
try flush() to clear the input buffer and memset() to clear the array .
