#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <Windows.h>
using namespace std;

void gotoxy(short x, short y)
{
	COORD pos = {x, y};
	SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), pos);
}

int main()
{
	int count = 25;

	for(int i = 1 ; i < 26 ; i++)
	{
		gotoxy(i, 15);
		cout << "RIGHT";
		gotoxy(count, 20);
		cout << "LEFT";
		count--;
		Sleep(50);
	}
	gotoxy(30, 27);

	cout << endl << "Press ENTER to exit...";
	cin.clear();
	cin.sync();
	cin.get();
	
	return 0;
}


When i run the program i get this:

RIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEFT

the only problem is i need left to start at the right side of the screen and go left

and i need right to start at the left side of the screen and go right.

I need to go across the whole screen too, not just go to the center.

it should look like this:

RIGHTRIGHTRIGHTRIGHTRIGHTRIGHTRIGHTRIGHT... until it hits the right side of the screen

LEFTLEFTLEFTLEFTLEFTLEFTLEFTLEFTLEFTLEFT... until it hits the left side of the screen.

any suggestions.

@Reaper1

Is this any help?? Or are you needing to be able to read each word as it goes across, as LEFTLEFT, etc??

One more question if you dont mind.

This is my code for UP going from bottom to top and DOWN going from top to bottom.

How can i make it so that it only displays the word up and down 1 time until the end and not not like 25 times. Like in my other program you got it to only display left and right 1 time until the end.

Will do, Reaper1, and your welcome. Mark this thread as solved, please. Much thanks.

@Reaper1

I changed up the program a bit. Now all 4 words are moving.
