svgalib is the only one I am aware of.

I'd imagine there are more, but I don't know.

Why would you want to develop for that anyhow? Not many people who play games will use just a console... SDL is so much better, it's cross-platform, but requires X.

thats all i was mentioning. if he makes a console game i wont play it. i find console games and programming boring.

everyone else can play it but i dont like em. i wasn;t saying change it to windows. he can program whaatever he pleases. im just saying i wont play it.

im not trying to make the world revolve around me :( i dont want that. i just hate console games. thats all.

to each his own!

i am learning direct x and it seems simple enough.
