Portable, simple text-based graphics C library or stuff?
Hello guys, I just finished reading a C book. Now I want to make some serious programs! And I'm not into shiny nice graphical programming (I tried SDL and I didn't like it). I want to stick to the text-based graphics applications. Anyone knows a simple library, which would be:
- Portable (Linux (ubuntu) and Windows).
- Simple (no very sophisticated stuff).
- Would let me to manage the terminal size (fullscreen, buffer size).
- Would let me to manipulate cursor (gotoxy).
- Would let me to change background and text color.
Anyone? Mouse handling and scrolling and every other stuff would be cool but is not that important ;)
If this is a stupid question, please, don't blame me, I'm new to programming and I'm learning by myself.
And what about ncurses library? I installed it, it's HOWTO offers great features, but I'm not sure about it's portability and fullscreen windows.
