ASCII designer?
So I am making a game in C++ specifically a text-based game. The game will be a "escape the room" type game however my problem is that I am a bad artist in general(here a bad ASCII aritst ) and I was wondering if there was some program or whatever that I could use to display the sections of the room that will be displayed.
Thanks.
Thanks.

How can you be bad at text art? It's not that hard you just kinda go like this:

No that is a box. I mean the stuff inside the box.

I think you should draw 8-bit images that have the ASCII touch to it. Here's an example of an MMO created in ASCII by a person I know from the 'XtremeWorlds' forums.

Not directly, but you can, use the Windows API and, make a seperate window, and THEN upload the picture. You could also use Allegro or SFML, but I want it to be 100% ASCII.David B wrote:Is there even a way to add images to C++ Console Applications?

Re: ASCII designer?
You can't show an image in the console application. You have to use some third party library(s) to make a seperate window and then show the image.
