C++ libraries for ascii graphics?

• libtcod-vcpkg-template

  15 17 4.6 C++

Libtcod's Vcpkg template could work for your conditions. The tools it uses are cross-platform, using VSCode as the IDE rather than Visual Studio, but running CMake manually should work also.

• FTXUI

  39 6,121 8.2 C++

  Features: - Functional style. Inspired by [1] and React - Simple and elegant syntax (in my opinion). - Support for UTF8 and fullwidth chars (→ 测试). - No dependencies. - Cross platform. Linux/mac (main target), Windows (experimental thanks to contributors), - WebAssembly. - Keyboard & mouse navigation. Operating systems: - linux emscripten - linux gcc - linux clang - windows msvc - mac clang

I didn't use it yet but I suspect this library might work well with making classic roguelikes: https://github.com/ArthurSonzogni/FTXUI
