How can you do simple ASCII games in the console?? (Using C++) I know you can print out text and then print out a whole load of nothing to clear it, but is it possible to access it and clear it, plot things, use colours, etc? Could you show me some place for info on that? Thanks!

Game Programming All in One 1ed have one chapter that's all about one interesting console game. If you want, I can send some text of the chapter and it's workable source code I have tested a long time ago.

Thanks pulpfist! I'm making a text-adventure for 4E5, and then as a test of the basic skills I've learned, and I wanted to add color to it, make it more than normal.
