=====================================
Modifying the ASCII code of a cell
=====================================

 

C++ : void TCODConsole::setChar(int x, int y, int c)
C   : void TCOD_console_set_char(TCOD_console_t con,int x, int y, int c)
Py  : console_set_char(con, x,  y, c)

This function modifies the ASCII code of a cell, leaving other properties (background and foreground colors) unchanged.
Note that since a clear console has both background and foreground colors set to black for every cell, using setchar will produce black characters on black background. Use putchar instead.
ParameterDescription
conIn the C version, the offscreen console handler or NULL for the root console.
x,yCoordinates of the cell in the console.
0 <= x < console width
0 <= y < console height
cThe new ASCII code for the cell between 0 and 255. You can use ASCII constants.
