Hey guys, I've been working on a text based rpg for a few weeks now and have been developing it in the console command. I would like to get more functionality out of the window and environment, like full screen and changing text size and font. I'm coding in c++. |

Hello, I think I am working on something similar, but I am using Python 3.4. Maybe we can collaborate? |

If you don't mind continuing to use the console command window, you could use the PDCurses library for Windows, or ncurses for Linux/UNIX. It makes text positioning, colouring etc far easier. However, I don't know how you could change font stuff. Maybe SDL could help? Libsdl.org PDCurses: Pdcurses.sourceforge.net I don't really know of any comprehensive tutorials on PDCurses. However, I believe ncurses and PDCurses share a lot of the same functions, so perhaps the ncurses howto might come in handy. I would actually love to develop a roguelike RPG myself. Good luck! |
