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.
