I have no idea what you're talking about either
I think he wants to make an ASCII movie by drawing a scene, waiting, clearing the screen, and then drawing another scene. But that's just my speculation.
I am against the teaching of evolution in schools. I am also against widespread
literacy and the refrigeration of food.
Your right. But i don't want just movies. I want gameplay that way as well.I think he wants to make an ASCII movie by drawing a scene, waiting, clearing the screen, and then drawing another scene. But that's just my speculation.

hmm,another pick a discision and see what happens game,
what do you need to know then? whe cant do much with
'i want gameplay'
I think he wants to create like a game with animations in ANSI text mode. But advice is that it's time-consuming and does not worth the effort, if you want to actually make something good.
Havent you ever used ZZT?
I want regular dos console mode of it....

okwell then do this...
That's about the only sort of animation you could do as far as I can imagine...If you implemented the animation techniques correctly it shouldn't be too difficult.Code:0 |- / \ wait a sec....clear screen 0 |- ___ / \ wait a sec...clear screen 0 |- _____ / \ and so on
Don't try to make an animated character or anything like that, the flickering will drive you nuts. You can do simple stuff like tetris or pong or something with no problem. I am making a tetris game in DOS on my old DOS only comp, just for something to pass me by when I'm bored and can't get on my new computer to work on my TBS game.
Would you people plz tell things right, a little black window in
windows is called a "Win32 Console Application".
Plz dont mix up these 2.
Blizzarddog in this case, but many people make this mistakeOriginally posted by frenchfry164
who are you talking to?
I don't want ppl to think im a moron... not that im saying that you think i am one... but in Dev c++ Version 4, the Dos console is called Console Appplication. So im using that. The windows application is for a non dos.. of course, and i do not know any windows commands, like output devices.
