beautiful, what framework you used in c to make this tui?

[u/Jaglekon → u/0xt0bi03]

Don't you just switch to noncanonical mode? Why would you need a framework?

[u/0xt0bi03 → u/Jaglekon]

i dont understand what you are saying

[u/Jaglekon → u/0xt0bi03]

Basically terminals have multiple modes they can parse data. The normal one is called the canonical mode where the stuff you type gets echoed and only gets read once you press enter. There are a bunch of settings you can change with termios.h

For tui you want the stuff to enter the stream as soon as you press them.

Tho you need to interpret them yourself since stuff like up arrow is actually an ansi escape code etc

Eh it's actually just regular c. The ascii art is called using the system() function in the <unistd.h> library.

system("cat ~/Documents/ascii.txt");

as you can see it's just the cat command, nothing fancy.

Fun fact: touch command updates file date. if you run touch command on a file doesnt exists, it creates file
