Making a map for restaurant

Is it possible to move in the Console with a map like this.

text += "------------------------------------------------------\n";
text += $"|      ¤ ¤     ¤ ¤                                       |\n";
text += $"|                                                       |\n";

Oh the code format broke So what i want to do is to move from tables with arrow keys. When the cursor is on a table i want to see this character >. I dont know if this is even possible

Pobiega•2mo ago

it sure is you'll need to listen for keypresses, specifically the arrow keys, and then keep track of what table "is selected"

CarlJohnsonOP•2mo ago

I try to find some examples on internet but cant find anything I know how to do it like without a map only a normal lost but with this its a little difficult to think of a solution

Pobiega•2mo ago

what have you tried?

CarlJohnsonOP•2mo ago

Moving with arrows over a list. So if your key input was right index would be +1 and you see than > value And the tableids where printed undereachother

Pobiega•2mo ago

List<Table> tables =
[
    new() { Id = 1, Position = (1, 1) },
    new() { Id = 2, Position = (1, 2) },
    new() { Id = 3, Position = (2, 1) },
    new() { Id = 4, Position = (2, 2) },
];

Table selectedTable = tables[0];

while (true)
{
    Console.Clear();
    foreach (var table in tables)
    {
        var x = table.Position.Item1 * 10;
        var y = table.Position.Item2 * 10;
        Console.SetCursorPosition(x, y);
        Console.WriteLine(table.Id);

        if (selectedTable == table)
        {
            Console.SetCursorPosition(x - 1, y);
            Console.WriteLine(">");
        }
    }

    var key = Console.ReadKey();
    var nextPos = key.Key switch
    {
        ConsoleKey.UpArrow => (selectedTable.Position.Item1, selectedTable.Position.Item2 - 1),
        ConsoleKey.DownArrow => (selectedTable.Position.Item1, selectedTable.Position.Item2 + 1),
        ConsoleKey.LeftArrow => (selectedTable.Position.Item1 - 1, selectedTable.Position.Item2),
        ConsoleKey.RightArrow => (selectedTable.Position.Item1 + 1, selectedTable.Position.Item2),
        _ => selectedTable.Position
    };
    
    selectedTable = tables.FirstOrDefault(t => t.Position == nextPos) ?? selectedTable;
}

public class Table
{
    public int Id { get; init; }
    public (int, int) Position { get; init; }
}

List<Table> tables =
[
    new() { Id = 1, Position = (1, 1) },
    new() { Id = 2, Position = (1, 2) },
    new() { Id = 3, Position = (2, 1) },
    new() { Id = 4, Position = (2, 2) },
];

Table selectedTable = tables[0];

while (true)
{
    Console.Clear();
    foreach (var table in tables)
    {
        var x = table.Position.Item1 * 10;
        var y = table.Position.Item2 * 10;
        Console.SetCursorPosition(x, y);
        Console.WriteLine(table.Id);

        if (selectedTable == table)
        {
            Console.SetCursorPosition(x - 1, y);
            Console.WriteLine(">");
        }
    }

    var key = Console.ReadKey();
    var nextPos = key.Key switch
    {
        ConsoleKey.UpArrow => (selectedTable.Position.Item1, selectedTable.Position.Item2 - 1),
        ConsoleKey.DownArrow => (selectedTable.Position.Item1, selectedTable.Position.Item2 + 1),
        ConsoleKey.LeftArrow => (selectedTable.Position.Item1 - 1, selectedTable.Position.Item2),
        ConsoleKey.RightArrow => (selectedTable.Position.Item1 + 1, selectedTable.Position.Item2),
        _ => selectedTable.Position
    };
    
    selectedTable = tables.FirstOrDefault(t => t.Position == nextPos) ?? selectedTable;
}

public class Table
{
    public int Id { get; init; }
    public (int, int) Position { get; init; }
}

this works obviously extremely crude and basic, but the general concept works

ReadKey also have a boolean on whether you want to silence the output of the key

CarlJohnsonOP•2mo ago

Interesting

Pobiega•2mo ago

yep, not relevant for arrows as they dont have any output anyway, but useful for like "press space to select this table" or whatever

FestivalDelGelato•2mo ago

if you don't want to use a pre-made package for managing console ui it's a bit of work you have to disable some flags for example for scrolling and manually capture the input if i'm not overcomplicating it
