| I'm pretty sure that in order to do C++ graphics, you need to get an external graphics library, such as DirectX or OpenGL. The console is only good for text. |

| Can't do lines in a console, switch over to a non-console win32 application and use win32 methods and/or start using opengl or directx. How do you do this? Start googling and buying books. |

| SDL is probably the easiest way to get started with graphics, and even provides a very easy way to get an OpenGL window up and running. |
