Could you please send and example project for testing?
Is your project a console or a form project?

@Synaii

Have you try SuperFastConsole? Someone had ASCII displaying problem but it's solved using SuperFastConsole unit:
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,29352.msg185276.html#msg185276

You can get the unit here:

Naaaaah, codepage problem.
Show us why it does not work wuth code and check which codepage YOUR windows is using.
Type just chcp in a console and report back.
Specialize a type, not a var.

I tried many things, a colleague told me that the problem was codepage, but I do not understand it, I tried to search to find out, but even then I did not understand it either.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.  Const Jogador_E = #17;
  2.            Jogador_D = #16;
  3.            Jogador_C = #30;
  4.            Jogador_B = #31;
  5.            Teleporte_De = #207;
  6.            Parede_De = #177;
  7.           BarraHP_De = #177;
  8.    ...
  9. DesenhaXY(Jogador.Tipo[8], Jogador_E, Jogador.Tipo[5], Jogador.Tipo[6]);
  10. DesenhaXY(Jogador.Tipo[8], Jogador_D, Jogador.Tipo[5], Jogador.Tipo[6]);
  11.  

These characters will only be useful for the visual.

Prints of my project:
My screen (Windows 7): https://imgur.com/a/nsuoPeX
My friend's screen (Windows 10): https://imgur.com/a/mwHASUx

My codepage is 850.

@Att: Im using the unit Super..
Is correct? https://imgur.com/a/BKIzQkb .. the executable of my game, and the unit super.o and .ppu in same past

Try this simple program on Win7 and Win 10 and see the result.
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. {$MODE OBJFPC}
  2. {$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
  3. program Project1;
  4.  
  5. const
  6.   C = #17#16#30#31#207#177;
  7.  
  8. procedure Print;
  9. var
  10.   ShortS: ShortString = C;
  11.   AnsiS: AnsiString = C;
  12. begin
  13.   Writeln;
  14.   Writeln('ShortString = ', ShortS);
  15.   Writeln('AnsiString  = ', AnsiS);
  16. end;
  17.  
  18. begin
  19.   Writeln('DefaultSystemCodePage = ', DefaultSystemCodePage);
  20.   Writeln('ConsoleCodePage       = ', TextRec(Output).CodePage);
  21.   Print;
  22.   SetMultiByteConversionCodePage(TextRec(Output).CodePage);
  23.   Writeln;
  24.   Writeln('DefaultSystemCodePage = ', DefaultSystemCodePage);
  25.   Print;
  26.   Readln;
  27. end.

This characters are bugged in windows 10:
#177, #30, #31, #16, #17

#177 is not an ASCII character.  ASCII only goes up to #127.  Anything between #128-#255 is codepage-dependent.

#16, #17, #30, and #31 are all non-visual control characters, you shoun't be trying to print them out visually.

@Synaii

Your GadesWay looks good, unfortunately I don't understand the language. Maybe you can consider to use English.

Below are the screenshots of your game running on my Linux - Wine:

Hello everyone, thank you for helping me .. I updated the game to English, and I did the tests they asked for, but honestly, I do not understand much of what they are asking me to do .. hahah, I'm sorry. I replaced the characters that were in trouble.
