I'd like to develop character based program with Tiny C Compiler. The putc works fine, but I want to print the character in a specific place on the character screen. Like in turbo pascal with gotoxy. Is there such a possibility? I'm looking through a bunch of header files, but couldn't find one.

#include <stdio.h> 
int main(int argc, char **argv) { 
  //    gotoxy(1,15); // ???????    
  putc(65,stdout); 
}

Use `printf("\033[%d;%dH", 15, 1);` if you are on a VT100 compatible terminal. – David Ranieri Nov 30 '21 at 13:49
unfortunately it does not work. It is a simple command line under windows 10. – user3459444 Nov 30 '21 at 14:02
But you can use the PowerShell, isn't it? – David Ranieri Nov 30 '21 at 14:05
succeeded! was missing system(" "); from the beginning of the program. Thanks for your help. – user3459444 Nov 30 '21 at 14:14
`system`? Why do you need it? – David Ranieri Nov 30 '21 at 14:15
I don't know, but that's how it works. I'll look into why I need to. – user3459444 Nov 30 '21 at 14:52
