Rename the Console Window

[cheesy]

How to you rename the console window from "C:\Documents and Settings\*name*\Desktop\etc.." to say.. "Adventure Game" or something?

You can make it with system() command, but usage of system() is not suggested . So don't use it if you don't need to.

system( "Title Adventure Game" );

I don't know any other way to do it. If there's any , you should use that way.

#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
  SetConsoleTitle("Adventure Game");
  // more code...
}

Psault, I get the error,

[code=cpp]1>c:\documents and settings\brad\desktop\coding files\cpp projects\test_01\test_01\main.cpp(6) : error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'const char [15]' to 'int'[/code]

with that code.

Cheesy, which compiler are you using??? I tried, Psaults code works with Dev(not only with dev).

He keeps compiling with UNICODE, so he needs to use some Windows macros around his string literals...

#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
  SetConsoleTitle( TEXT( "Adventure Game" ) );
  ...
}

Well I'm using VC++ 2008 Express, should I be using something else...? (Also something wrong with unicode?)

PS: Thanks again Duoas! :)

I think,VC++ is fine. About unicode, Duoas knows better.

Meaning...? O.o
