What run window?

Cervantes · **Posted:** Tue Jun 20, 2006 7:47 pm

Heh. The point rizzix is making is that most programming languages don't use a a run window for everything. Text only programs are run through the command line. If you want graphics, you have to use a graphics library (such as SDL, GTK+, Fox, OpenGL...). This means that you'll be using these libraries to create your run window.

So, any programming language that uses external graphics libraries can probably create full screen windows, provided those libraries that can do this have the necessary bindings for that language in question.

Program in C/C++ with SDL, or Direct X, OpenGL

This is exactly my problem with teaching Turing as a first language. People get accustomed to unrealistic situations.

%SuperFreak- dont u meen setscreen("max;max")?????

That's not fullscreen, that's a maximized window.

Furthermore, that's Turing-only; SuperFreak82 was asking about languages in general.

I think you mean the black card system. Wink

Anyway, the real answer to this topic is basically any language other than Turing. Smile
