I hafta make a house and I understand how to make 1 house with your drawing tool and stuff
Well this is how my code looks like:
(i understand that I have useless stuff)
So far, this code lets me make 1 house
I need a code that lets me make 3 houses next to each other
Can anyone help me by getting me on the right track or assisting me in a greater fashion 😉

Thanks

You know that the algorithm for drawing the second and third houses will be the same. It's just the starting point(s) that vary.

Exactly. Make some accessors and mutators for the x and y coordinates, and change them in main before you draw the next house. You don't need all those extra x and y coordinates.
