So I had this idea to beautify my console window by using (char)219 ASCII value which is a white block. So essentially I used that to make a border. Then I thought about having a non-static background.
So using: delay, clear-screen and cout statements; the border, which is checkered in look would keep blinking.
Using SetConsolePosition from windows.h, I could easily place text inside this border and there's no problem with this non-static border.
But here's the issue. The execution of cout statements stop when the program needs the user to enter a character.
So is there anyway at all to have those cout statements be executing on their own while the user can give his input?
