The console driver is one of the supported driver types on Nitrocid KS. These drivers allow you to change how the console works, thus earning dynamic console improvements, such as providing better workarounds to perform certain console functions, providing code to speed up the console, and much more.
The console drivers have the following characteristics:
Interface: IConsoleDriver
Base class: BaseConsoleDriver
The console drivers have the following functions that you can optionally override below:
IConsoleDriver.cs
bool IsDumb { get; }
bool MovementDetected { get; }
void WritePlain();
void WritePlain(string Text, bool Line, params object[] vars);
void WriteSlowlyPlain(string msg, bool Line, double MsEachLetter, params object[] vars);
void WriteWherePlain(string msg, int Left, int Top, params object[] vars);
void WriteWherePlain(string msg, int Left, int Top, bool Return, params object[] vars);
void WriteWherePlain(string msg, int Left, int Top, bool Return, int RightMargin, params object[] vars);

void ResetColor();

void SetOut(TextWriter newOut);

void Write(char value);
void Write(string text);
void Write(string text, params object[] args);
void WriteLine();
void WriteLine(string text);
void WriteLine(string text, params object[] args);
The ConsoleDriverTools class contains tools to get all the console drivers and their names and set a console driver as a default. The driver management tools also allow you to do the same thing, though you'll have to specify the driver type.
