there ain't many tutorials in the C/C++ section, maybe someone who knows this should make some tutorials, for everyone, if not only for Jonos' sake. On the basic stuff or something

A curses interface may or may not get you what you need, but it can't hurt to look at the docs: http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~ppadala/ncdoc/html/ncintro/ |

On windows, Nt strain. (maybe 9x)
Where F is the forground color, and B is the background color
Will set the color to red, and the background to yellow Use a system command to call this. Should work. (same as you would call cls, to clear screen) |

isn't that for changing the screen colors in command prompt edit: i think i get it now, cause system("cls"); clears the screen, system does in the program what dos would do with that command? |

Thanks for the bits....but I'm refunding them, because my bits automatically get reset to 1000, every so often... Cause I'm a mod. |

yeah, thats why i said you didn't really need them, but i couldn't really do anything else, so i gave you bits. does the system("") function only work in windows or can it be used in linux just instead using system("linux command"). also, so does that mean i could do something like system("shutdown -s -c "hehe"")? |

I think you mean single qoutes. system("shutdown -s -c 'hehe'"); and I have no clue what the -s and -c options are for (my version of shutdown doesn't have either.) You need to be root to shutdown the system....So yes, that command would work, it it was run as root. |
