Question about menus
I am looking to start making a simple text-based console game to test out my c++ skills.
One thing that I would like to learn off the bat is how to create a menu within the console that has the current selection highlighted and is controlled by the arrow keys.
I don't expect it do be simple, but if anybody could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

As Disch would say: http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/articles/28558/
If you still want to go through with it GetASyncKeyState might help. Check on msdn.com for more windows functions that allow you to get keyboard and mouse input.

Disch's article was enough to make me want to learn how to make an actual Windows application.
I don't mean to be a bother, but could somebody point me towards a tutorial to get started with making a windows application? I looked through this site and didn't really see anything too relevant.
I apologize if I have looked over something obvious. Thanks.

I don't think there's much here but I have bookmarked this: http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/start.html
If I bookmarked it I assume it's good :)
