Hi,

I have a table of data names and variables (name and player lap times) that I need to update in a loop. Now I know I can use cls but I don't want to refresh whole screen, so I created a black box and use that to cover over text and varaibles before I reprint updated data.

Is there a way to make printed text and variable opaque liek with text command.

Can I use text command for text and variables ?

I basically want a table thay updates with NO flicker or flashes...

Help appreciated.. thx

This continually prints a list of string and integer data using a player name and score for example...



There is no way to refresh only a portion of the screen. Sorry.
