Library for NES style terminal game.
Background: I want to make a NES Tetris) clone for the terminal, with full resolution, this is achievable through using this ▀ character, and defining back and foreground color. This would result in a 1x2 pixel and by making the game width 256x120 characters this would provide full resolution. I made some tests, creating my own encoding for the different sprites and optimizing everything, which resulted in very quick printing times, even with a normal terminal. Nearly fast enough for the full 60Hz that the NES has, when printing the whole screen. The fact that i don't need to reprint the background (except maybe a tetris), makes 60Hz a kinda realistic goal. My main concern is, that there could occur kind of a screen tearing effect, which i really want to avoid. AFAIK, ncurses has a way to print the whole "window" with a function call to avoid this issue, however I had a lot of issues when trying to use ncurses to print the entire background and figured, that there are better alternatives. I also tried FTXUI and whilst the experience of giving each "pixel" a fore- and background color was much better, i didn't quite find a way to refresh the screen like ncurses. (i think there is some kind of way with the ScreenInteractive class, but i didn't get that to work, and it seemed like there was not a way to color each pixel. with InteractiveScreen you can make your own components with the whole "text()" thing, but this isn't really what i need)

Cross platform terminal UI?
Depends on which level of "UI" you want. Personally I like https://github.com/ArthurSonzogni/FTXUI , but if you want to do those old TUI things then probably the (n/pd)curses libraries.

What are some C++ projects with high quality code that I can read through?
I find openMVG very decent, FTXUI might be a good one and nlohmann's json library is also pretty nice. I don't really know of any project that strictly adheres to the core guidelines, except maybe for some of Jason Turner's (sample) projects.

I have made a physics simulator that replicates projectile motion with quadratic drag! Please feel free to download and compile it. Let me know of any bugs!
Okay stupid suggestion I know but I've recently been learning the FTX UI library which basically adds a little bit of UI programming to the terminal and it has canvas that lets you plot pixel by pixel.

Check this out - https://github.com/ggerganov/imtui - it's imgui for tui, and I guess one can compile it as wasm and run there!

Alternative to ncurses for modern C++ (TUI)
Curses is the de facto TUI base, but there is no de facto standard C++ wrapper around curses. Google has FlatUI, FTXUI and Notcurses are popular, imtui is directly inspired by Dear ImGui. The list goes on and on, there are plenty of popular TUI libraries that all build upon Curses.

This can be as easy as wrapping a simple stdin/stdout loop with rlwrap, all the way to using full featured TUI libraries like bubbletea (golang), textual (python) or imtui (c++).

Second case is trickier. You probably want to check imtui or similar APIs.

Is there a de-facto standard of C++ TUI library?
I wouldn't call it standard, but https://github.com/ggerganov/imtui is pretty cool. It puts https://github.com/ocornut/imgui over ncurses.
What are some alternatives?
ncurses - snapshots of ncurses - see http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html (no pull requests are accepted)
imgui - Dear ImGui: Bloat-free Graphical User interface for C++ with minimal dependencies
notcurses - blingful character graphics/TUI library. definitely not curses.
libyui - Libyui is a widget abstraction library providing Qt, GTK and ncurses frontends. Originally it was developed for YaST but it can be used in any independent project.
