I've been studying c++ for about three months now. But now it became like 'what's this black screen all the time!?'

So I searched and found out that we need sdk. Like Wxwidgets or gltk. It was a torture to download them. Then I turned back to Vb.net, that I studied vb6 years ago. So, now I'm feeling myself better because I can see really what I do. Different languages but programming mentality is same. Relaxed now :) Do you feel also bored of working with a black screen?

You can't output images on the console, but you can change the screen color, do pixel art and stuff. :>

I am not making console applications anymore. Now I use Windows Form Application in C#. Next task is making apps for Android and IOS.

@Hatsy Rei Can I draw a pixel in code playground too? What is the character value of the pixel/box? I tried to color my text in code playground. Didn't worked. :(

@Cyrus Ornob Corraya, re: your CodePlayground query: Output runs through some form of stream processors and is not a tty/console. It's a little frustrating because it's blocked some of my more hopeful console codes (so didn't publish)--but it makes sense...terminal ANSI escapes aren't just for color, and other capture methods might require weird workarounds due to how current hardware works. SL might be able to customize a way but I didn't see one. None of this applies to your own stuff; you likely have the necessary access to your hardware.

Beginners with console programs feel like kids playing in a sandbox dreaming to build a house. I used the Processing IDE as it has a straight forward visual output and that kept me going,until I realized that power lies in the console when you do stuff for yourself... Processing is based on Java. If you are interested in a C++ approach you can have a look at Cinder and/or Open Frameworks

@Sahaji Bamba any IDE will do: http://openframeworks.cc/download/ if you want a simplier approach try the Processing IDE https://processing.org

system("color 02") you can change color of texts. Use it in int main()

How can we change the colour of that black screen? Can we output the images as well? I am talking about C++ console mode ?

As I know you need a Software Development Kit to add images, buttons or whatever.
