Hi and welcome to the forums.
If you are coding under windows then i guess you could do it with ASCII art or something but there is no graphics library for the console. However if you are coding under linux you could use teh Curses Library for this.
The best thing is to go here.

Hello (=
Yes that would be possible.
By and large it is not that much harder to go a graphical route and use sdl/clanlib/alegro/etc. ad nauseam Certainly nothing wrong with text though (=
An ASCII star field has a certain charm to it anyway (=

The man you want to PM is benryves - his website is full of ASCII graphic goodness.

And I'm sure if this post had anything to do with "ASCII" in the subject title he would have already pointed towards his ASCII demo by now [grin]

As for a high-class console application, I personally would stay away from it, but that's just me. Some crazy people (*cough* Ben *cough*) love doing them.
