Pong In Command Prompt

Post by **Sebastian Lawe** » February 4th, 2015, 1:42 am

I decided to find an excuse for building a program in C++
Making a pong physics simulator using the console window as a display ended up being the result.
I ended up building an API that treats the console as if it were any regular old screen.

Interesting. How do you process input?

The simple answer to that is, you cant.
That of course is due to the nature of a console windows limited input

However, I could have this pong logic use OpenGL or GDI and it wouldn't know the difference.
