Simple shapes, will C suffice?

[philipobrien]

Hi everyone, this is my first post. My background is in C++ and C but I have never needed to write a program to display graphics and so I'm not sure what is my best option. All I want to do is to draw a polygon in 2D, change its colour and move a smaller 2D polygon around the screen. The problem is that this will most likely be on a microcontroller based project and therefore plain old C. I know I can do exactly what I want on a pc with say Visual C++ but is it possible to do this in pure C? Many thanks for your help.

I've previously worked with graphics in C but that I did with TC. There's a header <graphics.h>which has all of the graphics related functions. You can try a hand on it.

It's possible to do this in plain C on most machines too - you just have to make the right function calls. Now, your microcontroller probably doesn't have DirectX 10 on it, so you're going to have to find out what functionality it has, and how to go about drawing to the screen.

I still have a TC compiler if you need it I may send it to your e-mail... pm me if so..

Why would you? It's a terrible compiler these days. I would suggest you keep it for yourself
