Thread: Makeing colors

How do i change the font color in my C++ programs??? For linux? For Windows??

Try running this. It shows all of the colors and the code is easy to understand.

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void gotoxy(int x, int y)
{
   COORD coord;
   coord.X = x;
   coord.Y = y;
   SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), coord);
}



void color(int color) 
{ 
SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),color); 
} 






void main ()
{
   int i = 0;
   for (int x = 0; x <= 79; x+=3)
   {
      for (int y = 0; y <= 49; y+=3)
      {
         color(i);
         gotoxy(x,y);
         printf("%1d",i);
         i++;
         if (i > 255)
         break;
      }
   if (i > 255)
   break;
   }

}

I made that program late at night. I didn't feel like spending the extra 3 seconds writing return 0. I'm sorry. Here's the real version:

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void gotoxy(int x, int y)
{
   COORD coord;
   coord.X = x;
   coord.Y = y;
    SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_H
ANDLE), coord);
}



void color(int color) 
{ 
 SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HA
NDLE),color); 
} 






int main (void)
{
   int i = 0;
   for (int x = 0; x <= 79; x+=3)
   {
      for (int y = 0; y <= 49; y+=3)
      {
         color(i);
         gotoxy(x,y);
         printf("%1d",i);
         i++;
         if (i > 255)
         break;
      }
   if (i > 255)
   break;
   }

   return (0);
}

Or maybe perfectionist prick!!!!!
Hehe just kidding.
