Graphics to a console program

[Kaleb mapatha]

How do i add graphics to my c++ console program

Depends on type of "graphics", but essentially you have to use a third party library that already does the hard technical labour, and works with your type of terminal. MS terminal is unlike any other terminal.

like i want to add things like icon,buttons like what you see in a normal program

Look for "ncurses". The Windows version might have a different name.


PS. CLI applications are normal programs.

What you want is GUI ( graphical user interface ) application not "console program", try searching for Win32 ( if you are on windows ) ( or Qt ); and SDL if you want games

i'd use mfc if you're on windows.
