Have an array of chars and draw it!
eg:
char array[] = { "+", "+", "+", "+", "+",
"+", "0", "+", "0", "+",
"+", "+", "^", "+", "+",
"+", "_", "+", "_", "+",
"+", "+", "-", "+", "+" };
int s = sizeof(array) / sizeof(char);
for(int i = 0; i < s; i++)
cout << array[i];
cout << "\n";
draws a simple smiley face!
sorry for repost, was supposed to be an edit!
