movebox.cpp

/*   To stop the box from moving into the corner where it causes the weird scroll, I used a bool and flipped it on and off as appropriate.  Otherwise I simply checked for the borders on a 25x80 console window and prevented the rows/cols from advancing if the box was at the consoles edge.  I also included <stdio.h> for debugging purposes with printf, and would have removed all references to it, but I left it in as a reminder to myself.
