Awesome, congrats on releasing your first library. If you
intend to work on it further, I'd like to see:
- A way to call a function when a specific key is pressed (key
binding)
- More portability, better support for other terminals; see
termbox source code for a reasonable level of portability
- Colors! But I guess we could probably combine your library
with the "color" library for that, right?
I do enjoy the gif that shows the functionality. I bet using
Unicode characters for borders and such would look nice.
Thanks!
Key input is a thing I've been thinking about. Since I've already
made a game in a console environment I know that key input sucks.
The best thing to key input that I've seen so far is SDL which
doesn't work with consoles. My idea as of now would be to make a
new library (sometime) that handles key input amazingly, which
would work hand in hand with this library.
Colors is something I'm working on, and I really want to
implement it as soon as possible.
As for portability, I'm not really sure what you mean by that. I
do however want to make this library work on as many
platforms/terminals as possible!
