    if you dont know, dont ask.
    if you DO ask, ask the GAME PROGRAMMING board.
    thanks

    Redraw the area with an updated image.

    It depends on how you define an image. If an image is just a series of bits drawn on the screen to create a visible pattern then an image can be created in console mode with ASCII characters.

    Everyone says you can't do this and you can't do that when you *can* if you simply look at things from a different perspective.

    What I have done the few times I want some graphic in console mode is that I create a function that take a location as argument.like so
    DrawBullet(int x, int y) I then make up an algoritm in that function that draw my desired shape around the location. Then I just have to call that function and tell where I want my bullet.
