https://repl.it/@Kasran/colortest if anyone wants to inspect this code (do note that it emphatically doesn't work properly when you try to run it from repl.it, at least not for me)
@typhlosion Noice! You know more than me then, I just know how to make pretty colors and clear to the end of the line. :3
@typhlosion It's fantastic! A veritable playground of text arrangement! :D
@typhlosion when you're working on unbuffered keyboard input, if you have any questions about termios(3) I might be able to help, please feel free to ask 😁
@typhlosion (looks like the main problem is repl.it chokes on non-ascii characters in program output? also their terminal doesnt support true color mode, so it's using the nearest color from what i assume is xterm's 256 color palette instead)
@typhlosion (terminal codes are hella cool though, its 2019 and i fucking love text based user interfaces)
@bossposs fuck yeah
like i said, once i master raw input im gonna make some horrible nonsense and no one can stop me
i already know how to move the cursor around and clear the screen with escape sequences too. once i learn the ways of raw nonblocking I/O im gonna make so much barely functional textmode garbage
