I just think you misunderstood

So you just want console based UI ? i haven't heard of any "clean" way to achieve such screen cleaning. Why don't you just print out like 100 empty lines between the previous and current menu? I don't think java supports the exact thing you want, because that should be achieved using java's graphical side...

found someone with similar question and it looks like the answer is simply no..

If that is the case I think the screen will become a bit messy. Anyway, thanks for the advice.

Well yeah, but you realize that what you are trying to do, is wrong anyway, don't you?

[Xdawn90]

Is it ? Can you explain further because I am just starting learning java and this is about my assignment. This is the first time that I am dealing with OOP so very confuse when doing the assignment. ><

Thanks for the advice.

Hmm, i see. Well, console isn't right place to make any UI, because the end-user cannot even see it. So don't try to make it look "pretty" or anything, just make it readable... it's the system inside what counts in your assignment, not the UI. GUI comes later, when you already know rest of the java..

i think it's pretty ok, if your menu doesn't dissappear when the next one appears.

Thanks for your opinion. Hope I can finish the assignment before the due date. ><
