Hello, I have been working on this program for a bit (under Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8):

#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <curses.h>
using namespace std;




void drawPosition(int, int);
int getKeyPress();
void clearScreen();
void resetCursorPos();


int main(){
	int exitLoop = 0;
	initscr();

	int xPos = 0;
	int yPos = 0;

	clearScreen();

	while(exitLoop == 0){
		resetCursorPos();
		drawPosition(xPos,yPos);
		refresh();



		switch(getKeyPress()){ //Check for key presses, and execute actions for them

			case 27: exitLoop = 1; // escape

			case int('w'): yPos--; // w
			case int('a'): xPos--; // a
			case int('s'): yPos++; // s
			case int('d'): xPos++; //d
		}




	}

	endwin();
	return 0;

}





void drawPosition(int xPos, int yPos){
	//printf("\033[ %i; %if", xPos, yPos);
	move(xPos,yPos);

	printw("0");



}

int getKeyPress(){
	int text;

	text = getch();


	return text;


}

void clearScreen(){
	printf("\033[2J");
}

void resetCursorPos(){
	move(0,0);
}

Using Eclipse to Compile/Build and running it from the command line. There are no compilation errors, and it seems like it should work... However, when I run it, the S key increases x and y by one, the D key increases y by one, A increases X by one, and W does nothing. This is nothing close to what the code tells it to do. The escape key code works fine.

The compiler being used by Eclipse is g++, if that info is needed.

I have had this problem with compiling using windows (the horror!), and somehow I fixed it, however that was a year ago or so. I have the source code for that program, however it is using a completely different method of drawing things. I have tried using direct ascii codes, and int('Letter'), and it makes no difference. I'll check the windows version of this code I have, however to my knowledge it was close to this, however not using escape codes to clear the screen, and printing spaces instead.

I would like to know if there are any problems that stand out to any of you on this forum, that might be causing this to not work.
