I''ve seen some threads recently on windows consoles, but they didn''t answer a question. Can I draw a line? All this particular game needs are text of different colors(which it seems the windows console can do) and lines of different colors. So can I draw a line and if so, how do I go about it? Create.

The windows console can do text, and only text. If you want, you can place "Û" characters as "pixels" to create a very low-res line, but I doubt that''s what you want to do. Aside from such text-based approximations, there''s nothing you can do.

There are some ASCII characters that allow you to draw boxes, etc. But they have to be horizontal of vertical.

Hope this helps!
