Making a cursor without using graphics
Hi guys I'm new to c++ So I have a project to make. I need to make a cursor like an arrow that will move when inputs are given. e.g if input is given 500 spaces UP it will move up and so on. it should rotate as well like 45 degrees and so on. Can anyone please help me out and explain how to make this arrow WITHOUT USING GRAPHICS. THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Typically if you want to do something graphical, you have to use graphics. Not only does it make practical sense, but it's also like 500x easier.
Well windows lets you set your cursor (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms648393%28v=vs.85%29.aspx)
But for rotation you'll need a graphics library (or enough knowledge to make function for rotting images yourself), otherwise you'll need already rotated images and load them all to your program (very unpractical).
