Thread: Rain/snow Effect for graphics

You cannot display graphics to the console. What API are you using to draw the graphics?

transparent bitmap for rain/snow.
loop
{
blit across screen buffer in a loop
blit across back buffer 1 or 2pixels down in a similar loop
swop buffers
}

you could do this in a separate worker thread and when you want the weather effect to stop,kill the thread.But that would be a fair amount of work coordinating the drawing because other threads will want to write to the same buffers.Sounds like fun eh?
