Today we played around with ncurses. Ncurses is a C library which allows the user to play around with the terminal and basically do really cool things with it, including make games. This is how games such as tetris-bsd or hangman are created. Using basic printf statements and stuff like that would take ages to create a game of that calibre, so this library does the hard stuff for us. | Today we played around with ncurses.

+ | Today we are playing around with ncurses more. We are working on creating a program which will logically turn one screen into multiple screens, so that we can manipulate it in cool ways. | ||
+ | |||
+ | So far we have made it so that a bunch of dots fill up the screen in three different parts of the screen. A random color will appear in each row and bold dots will show up in the second part of the screen. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We made this neat program with ncurses which takes in user input to display different neat things to the screen. It's cool. | ||
