Medo VS FTXUI

To me the most impressive recent example is a video editor developed for Haiku OS [0]. It fits on a 1.44MB floppy disk.

I’ve created a 4k UHD video editor for Haiku OS (https://github.com/smallstepforman/Medo), it’s a C++17 native app, with over 30 OpenGL GLSL effect plugins and addons, multi threaded Actor model, over 10 user languages, and the entire package file fits on a 1.44Mb floppy disk with space to spare. If I was really concerned about space, I could probably replace all .png resources with WebP and save another 200kb.

How is it so small? No external dependancies (uses stock Haiku packages), uses the standard C++ system API, and written by a developer that learned their trade on restrained systems from the 80’s. Look at the old Amiga stuff from that era.

At its core, Linux offers variety, while Haiku strives to be a unified system. There is only one official UI, one sound API, one filesystem, one preference system, etc. making Haiku easier to administer. The system kits are designed to work together.

For instance, I created a from scratch video editor for Haiku which does 4K UHD videos with OpenGL based plugins, with over 30 effects, and 10 languages. The installer package with no dependancies is 1.3Mb (fits on a floppy disk). https://github.com/smallstepforman/Medo Under Linux, I would require many more dependancies since I have so no guarantee what libraries or API the users have installed.

My favourite - BeOS/Haiku Interface Kit (Link to my project with screenshot https://github.com/smallstepforman/Medo).

You can always use both ... example from my project: https://github.com/smallstepforman/Medo

Wait until you try Haiku on the same hardware. I’ve got a 4K video editor with no HW acceleration yet is smoother to edit videos than both OSX and Win10.

https://github.com/smallstepforman/Medo It is for a opensource Media Operating System called Haiku Os, and it is less than 1.44 Mb open source very lightweight:

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.
