I know how to change text color for statements and such, but is there a way you can have a spefic character be the same color through out your whole program? For example, I want 'X' to be BROWN throughout the whole entire program. The reason why I don't just set the text color everytime X is to be displayed is becuase it is uncertain when 'X' will be shown. Another example is that I want '*' to be YELLOW throughout the whole program, because that is the 'player' in the game. The 'player' moves are represented by a '*' character. I want the '*' to be YELLOW, but it would be very difficult (if not impossible?) to change the text color of the '*' because of how the player moves. The compiler I use is DevC++beta4.9.2, and I hope I've explaine my problem well enough that somebody can help me.



I accidentally posted this thread in the C forum the first time...sorry to those that noticed
