Hi!!!

Question 1!
========
I want to make a program to print in the screen the numbers from 1 to 10 with deferent colors .For example 1(white) 2(red) 3(yellow) 4(green) ......
Is that possible through the cmd ????

Question 2!
========
How i can produce some sounds in defernet tones ,like beeps except for the '\a' ?

Are these two things possible in c++ while executing through the cmd panel?

Hi. I did this for a project way back in college. I am looking for the source code for you. It may not be around and, if it is, I will post it. Hopefully someone else will help you out in the meantime.

OK. Found the files. They are quite big so I have cut them down to more or less essentials. Firstly 'video.h' has definitions of note frequencies and screen colors that will be used in the implementation.

Code:

/*VIDEO.H*/

Next we work out a tune on a keyboard and substitute the notes in an array and play them in sequence. Have to put in a delay between each note or we will get the fastest tune in the west :)

Code:

/* MUSIC.CPP*/



#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <dos.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include "video.h"

int motd_notes[152] =   {_G1, _G1, _C2, _C1, _E2, _E1, _G2, _G2, _G1, _E2,
			_E1, _E2, _E1, _E2, _E1, _E2, _E2, _E2, _E1, _E2,
			_F2, _F1, _G2, _G1, _G2, _E2, _D2, _D1, _E2, _E1,
			_F2, _F1,

			_G1, _G1, _B2, _B1, _D2, _D1, _F2, _F2, _F1, _D2,
			_D1, _D2, _D1, _D2, _D1, _D2, _D2, _D2, _D1, _D2,
			_E2, _E1, _F2, _F1, _F2, _D2, _C2, _C1, _D2, _D1,
			_E2, _E1,

			_G1, _G1, _C2, _C1, _E2, _E1, _G2, _G2, _G1, _E2,
			_E1, _E2, _E1, _E2, _E1, _E2, _E2, _E2, _E1, _E2,
			_F2, _F1, _G2, _G1, _G2, _E2, _F2, _F1, _G2, _G1,
			_A3, _A3, _A2, _A3, _A3, _A2,

			_B3, _B2, _C3, _C2, _C3, _B3, _B2, _B3, _A3, _A3,
			_C3, _C3, _G2, _G1, _G2, _G1, _A2, _A2, _G2, _G1,
			_G2, _F2, _F1, _F2, _D2, _D2, _C2, _C1, _C2, _C1,
			_C2, _G1, _G2, _G1,

			_C2, _C1, _G1, _G1, _E2, _E1, _C2, _C1, _G2, _G1,
			_E2, _E1, _C2, _C1, _D2, _D1, _C2, _C2};



void motd_full(int sounds)
{
   if(sounds == 1)
   {

   int a, b = 0;
   for(a=0;a<152;a++)
	 {
	    if(kbhit() == NO)
	    {
		  sound(motd_notes[a]);
		  delay(100);

	    }
	 }
	 nosound();

   }
}

And here is part of the code used to control the screen. There is far more code than this. I have just posted some to give you a quick look at what you can do with the screen and the computer speaker. You have to do the learning.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <dos.h>
#include "string.h"
#include "video.h"


void set_video(int display_mode)
{
   union REGS inreg;

   inreg.h.ah = 0x00;
   inreg.h.al = display_mode;

   int86(0x10, &inreg, &inreg);
}

void cursor(int row, int column)
{
   union REGS inregs;

   inregs.h.ah = 0x02;
   inregs.h.bh = 0;
   inregs.h.dh = row;
   inregs.h.dl = column;

   int86(0x10, &inregs, &inregs);

}

void clear_prompt(int cursa, int cursb, int colf, int colb)
{

   cursor(cursa, cursb);
   repeat_char(255, 66, colf, colb);
   cursor(cursa+1, 6);
   repeat_char(255, 66, colf, colb);
   cursor(cursa+2, 6);
   repeat_char(255, 66, colf, colb);
   cursor(cursa+3, 6);
   repeat_char(255, 66, colf, colb);
   cursor(cursa+4, 6);
   repeat_char(255, 66, colf, colb);
   cursor(cursa+5, 6);
   repeat_char(255, 66, colf, colb);
   cursor(cursa+6, 6);
   repeat_char(255, 66, colf, colb);

   int86(0x10, &ireg, &ireg);

}

			    int column)

   int len = strlen(string);
   int i;

   for(i=0; i < len; i++)
   {
	 cursor(row, column+i);
	 write_char((char)*(string+i), fcolour, bcolour);
   }
}

   inreg.h.bh = 0;
   inreg.h.bl = colour;

   int86(0x10, &inreg, &inreg);
}

void dreamt_display(int a, int b)
{
   char *buff = "DREAM TEAM FOOTBALL";

Well that is a great thank you.
This was all from several years back. I am sure I stole most of the code from books etc. Looking at it now I don't understand half of it :)
I am sure I would never dream of writing code today that uses interupts to code registers directly.
