Hi guys! I am trying to make an on running a game. An example of this would the snake game or the dinosaur game. The thing is that every time I try to use the function to move the cursor of the console it results in an unhandled exception, some example of this is functions are SetCursorPosition(Int32, Int32), SetBufferHeight(), and SetBufferWidth(). I thought this gotta do with the buffer height and width which I end up using the function Console.WriteLine(Console.BufferWidth); & Console.WriteLine(Console.BufferHeight); This results in 0, 0. Please help me to find an alternative or solution.

I've never tried to change the cursor position on the screen in C#, but my suspicion is that the issue could be that the code is run on a server and information is relayed to your browser.

Your code might even work on your local PC if not run on OnlineGDB. You can install Visual Studio, which has a free version (Community edition):  https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/
