How about Console Quake style

[NarKotiK]

sorry for my english, I'm french

well, I'm not new to program games in Java but now I want to furnish more features for my games. The problem is that I want to realize a console as same as quake to modify values of the game.

I try to do it with MS DOS console and X Term console, it runs, i do a bufferedReader, I read it with readLine and I cut it with StringTokenizer, it's simple

now the problem is, i have a JFrame in fullscreen mode and a implementation of a KeyListener
I want to pressed a command( a string if you want) and draw it in the same time with paint method of my JFrame component
ex:
g.drawString(inputString, 50, 50);

and a problem is also to draw it on the JFrame even if the command line is not finished !

please help me I'm very lost !!!!
thx a lot !
