trying to make a chessboard in .net for a school project but ran into a few small issues i
the proportions are never right i set the board as 8X8 and it becomes a rectangle with a longer length than width and i cant figure out how to position the board so it isnt just in the top left of the console some help would be appreciated
my board renderer class:
using System.Text;
using System;
using System.Windows;
using System.Drawing;
using chess_project_SOP;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
public class BoardRenderer
{
public void Boarddrawing()
{
int height = 8; int width = 8;
{ //width then height
for (int i = 0; i < height; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < width; j++) {
bool isDark = (i + j) % 2 == 0;
Console.BackgroundColor = isDark ? ConsoleColor.White : ConsoleColor.Black; Console.Write(" ");
} Console.ResetColor(); Console.WriteLine(); } } Console.ReadLine(); } }
int height = 8; int width = 8;
{ //width then height
for (int i = 0; i < height; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < width; j++) {
bool isDark = (i + j) % 2 == 0;
Console.BackgroundColor = isDark ? ConsoleColor.White : ConsoleColor.Black; Console.Write(" ");
} Console.ResetColor(); Console.WriteLine(); } } Console.ReadLine(); } }

Well, this is really up to the console your code is running in.
It's stretched like that because letters/characters are generally taller than they are wide.
If you want it to be bigger you can pick a larger font size on whatever console you are using to run your application.
If you want the proportions to be right, you could try something like this and keep it simple:
you're making an incorrect assumption that console characters are square, they aren't
