Hey all I have just joined these forums. I am attempting a text based adventure game. I was just wondering if there was some sort of C++ command that will clear the screen in C++ in a DOS console app.

Hey and welcome!

Code: Select all

#include <windows.h>
system("cls");
Should do it!
Next time try to google it ;)

if your on a mac you could also use clear, here's my clear screen functions->

Code: Select all

void EasySystem::cls()
{
     #ifdef WIN32
            system("CLS");
     #else
            system("clear");
     #endif
}
