BarnabasBox is a bare-minimum TUI library. It is written with common Linux distributions in mind and while it may work on other operating systems, there is no guarantee for this.
Because I can. Also, statically linked binaries using Termbox2 are too large (a.k.a. bloat).
[…] And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus […]
Acts 4:36
Barnabas is a cool name, period. Also, I didn't come up with a better name when I named my files.
- libc (including an implementation of termios.h and stdio.h)
- terminal supporting ECMA-48
- C compiler (i.e. gcc or cproc)
Type make if you have make installed. Edit the Makefile to suit your wishes.
Otherwise, you can compile each file manually with CC -c -o name-of-file.o name-of-file.c, where CC is your C compiler and name-of-file the file you want to compile.
After that, the command ar -rc libbarnabas.a *.o should yield a static library ready for use.
#include "barnabas.h"
int main() {
// Initialize TUI
binit();
bputs("Hello, World!");
fgetc(stdin);
// Clear screen
bwash();
// Get terminal size
int row, col;
bsize(&row, &col);
// Input prompt
char str[64];
bread(str, 64, "Type something here: ");
bputs(str);
fgetc(stdin);
// Deinitialize TUI
bquit();
}
