History

Bill-Gray 7193dc6b20 'ozdemo' : improved ASCII map of Australia, and switched to a more visible color scheme (on some platforms, yellow on green is nearly invisible)		5 months ago
..
README.md	All READMEs "converted" to markdown (only trivial changes).	10 years ago
UTF-8-demo.txt	Somehow, we 'lost' UTF-8-demo.txt, a file used in tuidemo.	4 years ago
calendar.c	'calendar' modified to work with negative years. Only of use to historians and astronomers, of course.	3 years ago
curses.priv.h	Changes to support building of 'libform' (ncurses forms menu) and some associated ncurses demos	1 year ago
dates.txt	Two new demos, 'mbrot' (Mandelbrot display) and 'calendar' (shows a calendar).	4 years ago
firework.c	Demos can now be compiled with -Wextra without warnings appearing (all such warnings involved intentionally unused parameters)	5 years ago
init_col.c	Borland Turbo-C uses 'putenv()', not '_putenv()'.	1 year ago
mbrot.c	'mbrot.c' : removed unused #define, made 'help' text clearer	2 years ago
nctests.mif	Changes for ncurses test program building : those requiring the forms library (cardfile, demo_forms, dup_fields, form_driver_w) don't work in wide mode and are, at least for the nonce, excluded.	7 months ago
ncurses_cfg.h	Changes to support building of 'libform' (ncurses forms menu) and some associated ncurses demos	1 year ago
newtest.c	'newtest.c' and 'testcurs.c' demos : both programs used WA_ and A_ macros somewhat indiscriminately. This works on ncurses, PDCurses, and PDCursesMod, where chtype == attr_t. But it's not safe behavior. Also removed some references to obsolete/renamed attributes (WA_RIGHTLINE is now WA_RIGHT, etc.)	2 years ago
ozdemo.c	'ozdemo' : improved ASCII map of Australia, and switched to a more visible color scheme (on some platforms, yellow on green is nearly invisible)	5 months ago
picsview.c	'picsview.c' : admittedly minor security/bug fix for possible buffer overflow.	2 years ago
ptest.c	Follow-up to commit `e8bc5415b6` : Xinitscr() doesn't allow one to delete the screen after use. At some point, I'll need to figure out a workaround for this; it may result in Xinitscr() being deprecated.	2 years ago
rain.c	Demos can now be compiled with -Wextra without warnings appearing (all such warnings involved intentionally unused parameters)	5 years ago
snprintf.c	Some new demos failed on Digital Mars, because that platform lacked snprintf() (as do older MSVCs). Supplied a workaround for those three demos.	3 years ago
speed.c	Follow-up to commit `e8bc5415b6` : Xinitscr() doesn't allow one to delete the screen after use. At some point, I'll need to figure out a workaround for this; it may result in Xinitscr() being deprecated.	2 years ago
test_pan.c	make panel_hidden portable, prepare for release	9 months ago
testcurs.c	'testcurs' demo revised to display more mouse input data, for both the 'classic' and ncurses interfaces. Added to assist in testing the new mouse-handling code (see commits `52d206870c`, `592d27f164`, issue #130 , and some commits to come).	6 months ago
tui.c	Follow-up to commit `b82c7c3d18` : another use of // comments, complained about by older gcc	4 years ago
tui.h	Id tags aren't useful with git.	11 years ago
tuidemo.c	Demos can now be compiled with -Wextra without warnings appearing (all such warnings involved intentionally unused parameters)	5 years ago
version.c	Make the version demo not crash with OpenGL port (& others)	2 years ago
widetest.c	'init_col', 'widetest' demos: clarified some comments. In particular, the former referred occasionally to PDCurses when PDCursesMod or PDCurses* (i.e., both versions) was meant.	2 years ago
worm.c	Demos modified to delscreen() the pointer returned by newterm(). This is more portable than using delscreen(SP). For example, it'll work with ncurses. (Generally speaking, programs shouldn't use SP, ever. It may vanish in future version of PDCursesMod, and maybe even in PDCurses.)	2 years ago
xmas.c	Demos can now be compiled with -Wextra without warnings appearing (all such warnings involved intentionally unused parameters)	5 years ago

README.md

PDCurses Demos

This directory contains demonstration programs to show and test the capabilities of curses libraries. Some of them predate PDCurses, PCcurses or even pcurses/ncurses. Although some PDCurses-specific code has been added, all programs remain portable to other implementations (at a minimum, to ncurses).

Building

The demos are built by the platform-specific makefiles, in the platform directories. Alternatively, you can build them manually, individually, and link with any curses library; e.g., "cc -lcurses -orain rain.c". There are no dependencies besides curses and the standard C library, and no configuration is needed.

Distribution Status

Public Domain, except for rain.c and worm.c, which are under the ncurses license (MIT-like).
