It is a simple loop that cycles through the * different options, and the different colours. * * Colours: * Black 0;30 Dark Gray 1;30 * Blue 0;34 Light Blue 1;34 * Green 0;32 Light Green 1;32 * Cyan 0;36 Light Cyan 1;36 * Red 0;31 Light Red 1;31 * Purple 0;35 Light Purple 1;35 * Brown 0;33 Yellow 1;33 * Light Gray 0;37 White 1;37 * --------------------------------------- * * You can also do really leet things like make the colour * blink by changing the option to 5. Everyone loves blinking * things. To get the background colour simply add 10. * * http://www.metalshell.com/ * */ #include <stdio.h> void setFG(int opt, int colour); void setBG(int colour); void resetcolour(); int main() { int x, y; for(x = 1; x < 9; x++) for(y = 30; y < 38; y++) { setFG(x,y); printf("Wheee Colour!\n"); } resetcolour(); printf("Now doing background colours\n"); for(x = 40; x < 48; x++) { setBG(x); printf("Wheee Colour!\n"); } resetcolour(); } void setFG(int opt, int colour) { printf("\033[%d;%dm", opt, colour); } void setBG(int colour) { printf("\033[%dm", colour); } void resetcolour() { printf("\033[0;m"); }
