Use macros for 'magic' strings. about obstruction-game HOT 3 CLOSED

I already forgot what the color codes were. I will definitely add macros to make it more understandable.
So lets say I defined this: #define CLI_CYAN_COLOR \033[0;36m
And I wanted to print a cyan Hello
How would I do that?

from obstruction-game.

#define CLI_CYAN_COLOR "\033[0;36m" Use quotes.
printf(CLI_CYAN_COLOR "Hello");
If you want to see what the precompiler does, add -E flag to gcc.
gcc -E file1.c

But that disadvantage of this approach is, that it will leave the CLI cyan. Maybe a custom printf_cyan()
function is better?

printf_cyan() // Definition musst look like orginal printf (which looks complicated and I don't look for it)
{
    returntypOfprintf returnvalue; // Only if printf has one
    printf(CLI_CYAN_COLOR);
    returnvalue = print(/*Arguments*/):
    printf(CLI_DEFAULT_COLOR);
    return returnvalue;
}

Thank you for the clarification. There is a color code to reset back to normal. I will probably use that.
