Apr 23, 2018 at 18:21 comment added yuri @StevanMilic in theory you can write unicode by using \uUNICODE_NR however there are more factors at play here such as encoding. I also don't know what additional steps are needed on Windows. You can start by looking at this question on SE

Apr 23, 2018 at 10:31 comment added yuri @Vogel612 In short: because it's easier. You don't have to worry about how to pass an array or getting it's size when using a vector. So from a beginners perspective it simplifies things. If your goal is to reduce overhead or learn how to use arrays then by all means go ahead and use arrays to your hearts content.
Apr 23, 2018 at 10:10 comment added Vogel612 I'm not sure why you suggest using vectors instead of arrays for a fixed-size collection. Could you please elaborate?
Apr 23, 2018 at 9:31 comment added yuri @StevanMilic You could maybe spruce it up visually by using certain characters.
Apr 23, 2018 at 9:24 comment added Stevan Milic I appreciate your answer, Yuri. I will update my code as soon as I can. For the UI, I wanted the terminal window to be more complex and interesting than just outputting "*" and "-". The solution could be maybe to output a symbol, or a box, or something like that. Thank you again for your answer, it really helped.
