    You can't. Write a windows app instead.

    yes you can. with linux use ncurses to have colour boxes.

    to display images, you are right, they aren't really compatable, but it can be done.
    [ looking at logo image displayed by my linux distro in my command prompt only interface ]
    I have an image being displayed in a command prompt enviroment all the time.

    Use ASCII art instead?
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    void J(char*a){int f,i=0,c='1';for(;a[i]!='0';++i)if(i==81){
    puts(a);return;}for(;c<='9';++c){for(f=0;f<9;++f)if(a[i-i%27+i%9
    /3*3+f/3*9+f%3]==c||a[i%9+f*9]==c||a[i-i%9+f]==c)goto e;a[i]=c;J(a);a[i]
    ='0';e:;}}int main(int c,char**v){int t=0;if(c>1){for(;v[1][
    t];++t);if(t==81){J(v[1]);return 0;}}puts("sudoku [0-9]{81}");return 1;}

    You can't do it on Dev C++.Turbo C++ provides a very nice graphics.h header for this

    You can put graphics on console applications. Read the previous posts on this thread before posting.

    AFAIK you can use WinAPI in console apps so DX/OGL/etc... is also possible!

    You can, but it makes you wonder why you have the console there anyways.
