C++ WinAPI
Programming for the Windows API is a bit different than a standard console program. For instance, all your inputs and outputs need to be done using the API functions, you can't just cout or cin them.
It is entirely possible to do what you need to do using the Windows API. All the maths and variable stuff is the same, it's just the way that the user interacts with the program that's different.
