FTXUI VS rlTutorial2022

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)

Try this library for console https://github.com/ArthurSonzogni/FTXUI

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.

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.

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.

I made the RLDev Tutorial the last year in C if you like it. You can find it here: https://github.com/samelinux/rlTutorial2022 .

/u/Samelinux using pure C (notes)

You can find my repo here (language: c libraries: none) with all the implementation notes.

Part 12 - Increasing Difficulty: github tag

Links: Repo, Part10, Part11 and README

I'm participating in the "roguelikedev does the roguelike tutorial" this year, take a look at the project repo on github. Mi goal is to have something simple, very very simple, that anyone can follow along. It's written in c without any external library!

If you want to just take a look at the process, the various tutorial parts and the reasoning behind the various decisions, you can take a look at the readme i'm writing after every part.

You can find Week 3 Part 4 here, Week 3 Part 5 here while the repo is still here. You can find comments for all part at the repo link or the readme directly here.
