So, Mario Boards, you HAVE to have at least one other person who knows about the programming language Batch.

I'm trying to re-create LOZOOT as a text RPG.
Here's the code for the title screen (which is all I have so far) :
Code: 
@echo off
title The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 0D
color 14
echo  ████████
echo █      █          THE LEGEND OF
echo       █  █████ ███   ███    ███
echo      █    █  █  █     █ █    █ █
echo     █     ██    █     █ █   █████
echo    █      █  █  █  █  █ █  █     █
echo   █      █████ █████ ███  ███   ███
echo  █      █
echo ████████
echo                  OCARINA OF TIME 0D
pause
And the output is...

...ugly, to say the least.
What's the problem?
Before you say it:
chcp=437
editor=Notepad (normal and ++)

Yeah, and if I encode it as Unicode, it closes itself out immediately.
If I run it from the Command Prompt, it stops at
Code: 
C:\Users\not revealing my name\Desktop>lozoot0d
C:\Users\still not revealing my name\Desktop>█C
'█C' is not known as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.
In case you don't know, C:\Users\never revealing my name\Desktop>lozoot0d is the only thing inputted by me.
And just so you know, I edited the code a bit; it's now:
Code: 
Cls
@echo off
title The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 0D
color 14
echo  ████████
echo █      █          THE LEGEND OF
echo       █  █████ ███   ███    ███
echo      █    █  █  █     █ █    █ █
echo     █     ██    █     █ █   █████
echo    █      █  █  █  █  █ █  █     █
echo   █      █████ █████ ███  ███   ███
echo  █      █
echo ████████          OCARINA OF TIME 0D
pause
 
something about your tileset still seems off because apparently its trying to run the command "black squareC" which unsurprisingly doesnt work

Yeah, I don't understand why it's trying to run █C.
 
since im unfamiliar with this language, are you just running this inside cmd?

if so there might be something wrong with your windows settings
 
When I run color --help it confirms that your call to color with 14 will indeed cause a blue background with red text.

Combining that with changing the character set used to display to UTF-8 with chcp 65001 and then clearing the screen with cls to remove the message created by chcp, we get this:

Code: 
@echo off
chcp 65001
cls
title The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 0D
color 27
echo  ████████
echo █      █          THE LEGEND OF
echo       █  █████ ███   ███    ███
echo      █    █  █  █     █ █    █ █
echo     █     ██    █     █ █   █████
echo    █      █  █  █  █  █ █  █     █
echo   █      █████ █████ ███  ███   ███
echo  █      █
echo ████████
echo                  OCARINA OF TIME 0D
pause

There are reports that chcp 65001 can cause issues in batch scripts, so proceed with caution.
