I tried using textcolor(int) and included conio.h, but I get a linker error: undefined reference to ''textcolor'' I''d like to be able to do this without any windows APIs, if possible, but the textout() function seems to be the only way. I''m using MinGW 3.2, I believe. >_<

C does not define any functions to do what you want.

Thanks Salsa!
