This isn't a full demonstration of the "older" snake game I'd written. This one is lacking some of the functionality (I had a more complete source prior, lost it).
@ziodice You are a C++ programmer. You are working with the console. You can just as easily work with the Win32 API directly and create a (GUI) "Window." You can also use wrapper libraries like SDL/Allegro/DirectX/MFC and access many Win32 API calls in that new paradigm.
@Irritiable Um....by console I mean, when I open a new project in my IDE, I click win32 console...I thought that made me a console programmer, cause thats all I know how to program in
@ziodice You mean: You are an *aspiring* C++ programmer! There is no such thing as a "console" programmer. Unless you mean you program on consoles (embedded systems). :)
@ziodice You're welcome. :)

@Irritiable I'm a beginning C++ console programmer, so you are correct, I don't know much.

@ziodice It'd appear there is a great many things you do not know about computers, software, and hardware then! ;)

@Irritiable Thats interesting, I didn't think it was possible to get anything to move around in console. Huh.

@ziodice This was done on the Windows console (subsystem:console).
