Can I make ASCII game with C++ ? And if I can... HOW ?

Sure you can. There were tons of ASCII games when the PC first came out. Try and make a clone of one of them. Or, are you looking at the technical aspects of drawing ASCII art from C to a window?

if you arent very good at ascii art you could just make a hangman game, use a file with a list of words rather than hardcoding a single word.

I am currently working on a hangman clone, it''s great fun
Well the project is on hold due to exams, but will be continued mid Febuary.

hangman is so violent

I need some help... I don''t know how I can put MAZE -commands to c++ (in qbasic it was easy) and how I put "@" -sign to move by arrow keys ?

Where can I find some ASCII tutorials ?

Yeah, I want some ASCII tutorials too!

BTW, can I also (begging, grovelling) get some CHAR_INFO tuts?

Beatles are the best!

for some reason unbeknownst to me, whenever I hear (or read) "ASCII game", I remember the old game "Shamus"...:D.
