AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a simple graphics library for C on Windows 7 that is not OpenGL or GDI. The primary requirement is the ability to plot pixels on the screen, either in a window or directly in the console. The discussion references the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) for guidance on obtaining the device context for drawing and setting pixels, indicating that GDI could be a viable option despite the initial request to avoid it. The focus remains on finding a straightforward solution for basic graphics rendering in C.

In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
Thread 'Project Documentation'
Trying to package up a small bank account manager project that I have been tempering on for a while. One that is certainly worth something to me. Although I have created methods to whip up quick documents with all fields and properties. I would like something better to reference in order to express the mechanical functions. It is unclear to me about any standardized format for code documentation that exists. I have tried object orientated diagrams with shapes to try and express the...
