I'm fairly new to programming, and have just started writing a program in
DJGPP which uses
an ASCII GUI. The problem is that, it redraws the GUI very slow. Even on my
850 MHZ Athlon, I can see the cursor drawing up the GUI. Currently I use the
gotoxy(); function and cprintf(); to draw the GUI.
But when doing big redraws, it just become too slow, like on another program
I made, I used the ASCII character 219 to form a word, which I moved across
the screen. This was also terrible slow.
So, do anyone know of a better way to draw up ASCII graphics without using
the gotoxy and cprintf?
