is there anyway to create a fancy Console window in sfml ?
« on: October 31, 2017, 03:37:10 am »
I wanted to create another console window for my calligraphy project. The standard code blocks window does not look that attractive. My question is , is there anyway to create new colorful and attractive console window ?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks you.

Maybe you'll find use of Selba Ward's Console Screen :)

Selba Ward -SFML drawables
Cheese Map -Drawable Layered Tile Map
Kairos -Timing Library

I have a Lua console project (exe in the last post), maybe you could remove the Lua specific parts: https://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=15962

You were also not clear if you want console in the SFML graphical window or if you want a nicer 'real' console with colors, unicode, etc. (in the latter case you need some console handling library like ncurses or its port on Windows, etc.).
