Moving Stickman

Summary

Moving Stickman code in C Language using Visual Studio. Customized functions for Visual Studio 2010 to act same as Turbo C

textcolor() "Changes text color" clrscr() "Clears screen output" gotoxy() "Move cursor to x,y position"

This stickman moves on keys.

w ==> up a ==> left s ==> down d ==> right c ==> changes the color

Press any key and change character of stickman
