OpenGL Console (Fullscreen)

Jun 16, 2013 at 6:11pm
Is there a possible way to emulate a C++ console program in OpenGL or something like OpenGL, fullscreen (with no window or border)? I need something like DOS, where there is no window or title bar, but instead the console screen takes up the whole moniter.

Suggestions?

Yeah you can... just print text to the screen with OpenGL.

But... not to state the obvious.... if you want a console interface... why not use the console?

Alt+Enter will go fullscreen in most/all terminals that I've used.

EDIT: or it used to. I just tried it on my Win7 box and it doesn't seem to work any more. Weeeeeeird.

So I've stripped the console of all styles and get this:

Why is the console all messed up? It looks all weird and stuff.
