ANSI Escape Code Not Working?
I'm making a recreation of a card playing videogame called Inscryption for my computer science class. I'm using ANSI escape code sequence ("\033[H\033[2J" & flush) to clear the screen in between updating the board state, but for some reason, these ghost characters have appeared that will not clear. They only appear when two specific functions are run in sequence, and appear to be a partially-run result of the first function. They will not clear when the sequence is used, and they're clogging up the board and making the game pretty much unplayable. I cannot find anything in either function that would do this, so after an hour and a half or so of testing, I'm concerned the problem might lie with the escape sequence? This project is due Wednesday, and I linked the code below on a throwaway java sandbox (editable, runnable, viewable). The functions I am referring to are public void printBoard() and public void printUI(boolean instructions), run as printBoard() --> printUI().
