I decided to make a little text game just to familiarize myself with things. It's going to be one of those family type adventures where you play Jocke the Beast on a killer rampage. Cheesy

Anyways, I had a quick question about text mode stuff: Is it possible to get rid of the blinking cursor?

(Ok, another quick question: Can you turn off the mouse, too?)

I think the blinking cursor can be turned on/off in v0.9 of the compiler (not yet released).

Many years ago I used debug and made a COM that changed the look of the command prompt...fonts, style of the cursor, and whether it blinks.

If that ASM is still applicable in 32-bit commandline then use some embedded ASM.

Thanks for the tips. I'll see what the next version has in store and then look into the ASM.
