Finishing Up

I have covered how to create, write to and read from a Windows console window. It's now up to you to do something with this knowledge - it is beyond the scope of this text to show you how to perform 2D graphics operations such as line drawing or polygon filling within the console. Setting "pixels" on the console (well, setting the characters and the backgrounds) is an easy enough task via our buffer of CHAR_INFOs, and there are many other articles and resources out there on how to perform more advanced 2D operations.
