What I need to create is something simila to the CRT unit in Pascal or the old Graphics.h in Turbo C++, I am using the MinGW compiler. Is there any way to implement the GotoXY,ClrScr,Sleep,’SetClr’ etc. functions using, maybe the winapi kernel library or something? Or is there already a library made for MinGW that does all this. I need it to run on a Console Window, and only be text based.
You could use curses , there’s a port of pdcurses for mingw here http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Community_Supplied_Links
curses is a little odd to use, it was originally written for terminals on unix.
