Hello,
I'm currently taking a computer science course at my school and my current assignment requires me to use the BGI API to create a simple battleship game. Is there any similar API for linux like BGI. It doesn't have to be compatible, it just has to be simple so I don't have to add a whole lot of code. Thanks for the input.

the simplest and best from what i've seen, is SDL. and most languages have a binding of some sort for it too.

actually I was looking for something even simpler. I tried svgalib and g2 APIs and svgalib wouldn't compile (from AUR) and any program I made with the g2 API wouldn't link properly. Any more suggestions?

I didnt read console... oops. You're probably not going to find anything all too complete that is simpler than SDL, even more so for the console. Good luck all the same.

I removed my sig, cause i select the flag, the flag often the target of enemy.

i solved the problem by getting turbo c++ 1.01 running under dosemu. Now i don't have to modify any code at all. BGI works perfectly under it btw.
