| Post subject: | How do you clear the screen? |
I'm really new to Java and the entire concept of methods and classes being already made for me to use. I'm using Ready and I am currently working on creating a blackjack game (only using text, because I do not know enough about using graphics in Java). I would like to make my game in a way that the text does not get pushed off the screen, but is instead erased and the cursor is reset at the top of the screen. In Turing, the language I am used to, I would use cls or draw a white box over everything and locate the cursor back to the starting position, but since I do not know how to do either of these things in Java (clear the screen or locate the cursor), I am having trouble coming up with a way to make my game look decent. Is there any method in Java to clear the screen or locate the cursor? If not, how would I go about making one? Thanks for any help. |

Disregard that, I found my answer while looking through an unrelated post. |
