Universal Console is a tool that allows you to display program notifications, error messages etc.
I give an example code on how to set it up with batch program. If your program uses another programming language, you need to figure it out yourself.
Launching:
start console.bat/exe (start message) (name of the task eg. mygame.exe)
Displaying an event:
echo [%time%] %username%: (event note) >>log.txt
When closing the program:
echo [%time%] %username%: (closing message) >>log.txt
taskkill /IM console.exe
You need a file named console.settings in the working directory of the console.
