Have a look at your Masm32 installation, there are a lot of examples :

good to see you take an interest in 32-bit, xellos
here is a link for a 32-bit console program i wrote a while back
it is fairly well documented and demonstrates some things beyond the boring scrolling white text
i tried to keep it basic for newbies (like me - lol)

as for tutorials, Iczelion's tutorial is good
it may have a simple console mode app - not sure
but, it covers GUI apps - it will get you going with 32-bit, either way

read the chapter Character-Mode Applications on msdn and use the examples come with masm32 as skeleton. However, you should notice that masm32 comes with an nice set of macros allowing easy use of console (see \masm32\help\hlhelp.chm).

i am the same way, xellos
until i become a bit more familiar with pentium instructions and API basics, i am doing well to learn the console
i have a few more steps to go, but i am almost ready to play with the GUI
for years, i wrote 16-bit assembler code - so that part isn't hard
then, for about 7 years or so, i didn't do much programming at all
i got back into it about a year ago
i wanted to become at least as proficient with the 32-bit console as i was with 16-bit before moving on
if you look at some of my previous posts, you can see my progress - lol

xellos,

The solution is simple, if you want to write CONSOLE applications make the effort to learn a language that can do it. You cannot have it both ways,

Post 1. > if so have any good tuts cant find any!!

Post 2. > yes i know but i cant realy learn from it like from a tut

The examples are there, the internet is full of languages that can write console apps, all you need to do is make the effort to learn at least one language.
