Thread: console graphics

in turbo header file for graphics is graphics.h
I could not find this file in dev c++ compiler.Is it not a standard file or is there any alternative header in this particular compiler

I used to use it too.
It's not a standard one.
You'll have to go for something like OpenGL???

Use the package manager to download LibSDL.
Then look around www.libsdl.org for tutorials and examples.

i'm alredy having turbo c++.Just I wanted to use ANSI specification.

There is no graphics in ANSI-C
Which means whatever graphics you do have is specific in some way to the compiler and OS you're using.
Which also means if you change OS/Compiler, then you may be looking for another graphics library.

You might have a look at: WinBGIm. It kind of leads you to think that you might be doing graphics in a Windows Console but really it's a GUI window that simulates the old Borland stuff.

If you take the file from the first link and unzip it, you have to place a few header files in DevC++ include folder and allow conio.h to overwrite. Then there's a couple of .a files to place in the lib folder.

I have successfully built and ran the Borland "bgidemo", something I haven't done since the early 90's. In short, I started a new console project in DevC++, Added -lbgi and -lgui32 to the linker options, and changed the target type to Win32 GUI.

Code:

 Dev-C++, which is 1e1000 times better.

Why it takes so long time to compile in dev c++

Nope,it's the reverse case
On executing following program

Code:

int main()
{
return(0);
}

Code:

1. dev-c++ probably implements the C++ standard a lot better than that old fossil
2. dev-c++ probably diagnoses a lot more errors than that old fossil
