C++ PROGRAM: I ONLY WANT HINTS, ADVICE SUGGESTIONS, AND POSITIVE FEEDBACK.

I do know that I have to include an int main function that contains two parameters an int and a pointer to character. However, I do nit understand what else is there for me to do if the provided.cpp files already has the ReadFont void function which reads in the width & height for every character in the file. 

To create an ASCII font art message, your program will expect 5 command line arguments. The first argument is the string display. The second is the filename containing the bitmap font that will be used to render each character of the message in large format. The third argument is the message, a string of one or more characters. The fourth argument is a character that is to be used as the foreground (the letters). And the fifth argument is a character that will be used as the background for the ASCII font art. To create the output above, your program will be called with this command line: ./ascii_font_art.out display simple_font.txt Hello\ World! @ . Note that the backslash is used to include a space in the message (without it the program would see 6 command line arguments). You may also use single or double " quotes to delimit the message or when using special foreground and background characters (see the next example below). The program will output the ASCII font art message to the terminal (to std::cout). Alternatively, you can use command line file re-direction to send std::cout to a file: ./ascii_font_art.out display simple_font.txt 'Hello World!' '*' " " > hello_world_output2.txt You must exactly follow the specifications for the command line and output to ensure you receive full credit for your work.
