You know how in Minecraft you can make it show a character that is a bunch of changing symbols? (like it cycles through a bunch real quick) Well, I am writing the intro to a game that my friends and I are making, and it would be really awesome if I could put something like that in, I know I could just have it clear and re-type a bunch of times on a clock, but that is so inefficient, and more time consuming (I hope). Thank you for any responses!
If you want to do something like this (or, more general, if the word "game" is in any of your ideas), don't use the console. Use a graphics library like SFML or SDL. I recommend SFML.
