linux - C TUI Developement - Help / Tutorials? -
i have been looking through previous questions regarding topic , far none of them answer question. looking way (without libraries) build own tui ground up. want start off simple program reads directory , displays contents ability use arrow keys move , down highlighting 1 item. simple may seem need started on rest of project.
all need point me in right direction clearing , printing screen , not using print statement or external library. appreciated.
well, honest, can. others tell you, curses right tool job.
that said, isn't 80s anymore. <overgeneralization>everybody uses xterm.</overgeneralization> xterm uses ansi vt100 control codes, mimicking classic dec vt-100. if target this, should reasonably ok , portable.
but curses nice. lot of hard work (and there's plenty of hard work left keep busy).
