I suppose that the author's sentiment to QuickBasic was the main inspiration for this project. Nice thing.  |

Nice. This prompts me to make a CLI graphics library. Looks pretty neat.

I am glad you like it, i had some concern whether it can be served as helpful example despite the lack of comments in source.

This is very nice.
Reminiscent of DOS apps.
Mouse handling would be a nice addition, I think  |

If it can be understood then no worries.
Besides not all examples are aimed at beginners. |

Nice to hear!
Sure, it seems that an improper call to SetConsoleOutputCP function crush the program. By the way, i installed Windows 7.
