i would love to know, is this a real console window or just a mock up, if it is a real console window, how do you get it to update so fast

[Irritiable]

@thehugh100 It's most certainly "a real console window" (cmd.exe). It updates a lot faster than what you see on the video. It runs at 25-27 FPS IIRC. I'd have to double check. I slowed it waay down.

@Irritiable ok thanks, can i have the source code? to have a look at? if not can you tell me what command you use to draw to the dcreen so quick?

[Irritiable]

@thehugh100 Sure. I warn you, however: The source code is chintzy! I wrote it in a rush, just as demonstration. The majority of the time I was writing, I spent many hours just trying out new layouts trying to find the best aesthetically representing demo (visually). The source code was written one way, when it could've been written many other ways (much more efficient, such as using enum's instead of C++ strings for comparisons).

@HaZaRdxScopeZ Thanks. I wrote this back in January of 2011 (this year). It took ~10 hours. :)
