Question
Gone
Hello all,
I'm trying to create my own version of "ncurses" from scratch because I am bored, also I am trying to learn C# programming. I know that I can very easily create a GUI using Visual Studio, however I like graphical console apps.
Does anybody know of reading material that may help me understand the relations between windows, screens, and form elements. I so far have created a drawing system using box characters, as well as a basic system that holds an array of "Pixels", which is a class that I made that holds the following information:
... class Pixel { private Coordinates location; //a struct of (ushort x, ushort y) private char character; // Holds any single character of "Text" private ConsoleColor characterColor; // Holds the color of the single character of text private char backgroundCharacter; // Holds a box character private ConsoleColor backgroundCharacterColor; // Holds the backgroundCharacter color ....Here is a quick preview of my window class:
... class Window { private ushort windowWidth; private ushort windowHeight; private Coordinates origin; private String windowTitle; private BorderType border; private ConsoleColor borderColor; private ConsoleColor textColor; private ConsoleColor titleColor; private ConsoleColor backgroundColor; private Pixel[][] pixels; public Window(ushort _width, ushort _height, ushort originX, ushort originY, ConsoleColor _backgroundColor, ConsoleColor _textColor, String _title, ConsoleColor _titleColor) { this.windowWidth = _width; this.windowHeight = _height; origin.X = originX; origin.Y = originY; this.textColor = _textColor; this.titleColor = _titleColor; this.windowTitle = _title; this.backgroundColor = _backgroundColor; for (ushort x = 0; x < windowWidth; x++) { for (ushort y = 0; y < windowHeight; y++) { this.pixels[x][y] = new Pixel(x, y); this.pixels[x][y].setColor(this.backgroundColor); } } } ...I am trying to find the most effective way to update the Window and currently have a blank screen class that will handle all the drawing. I have searched for a diagram that shows the different layers of a user interface to get an idea of how the events are handled and drawn, but haven't found anything that has helped my understanding. Is there any books that cover developing a graphical user interface or online articles? I don't want to learn how to use existing API's, but rather see one developed from scratch.
It would be totally easier if their was a port of ncurses for Windows 10. PDCurses was last updated in 2008, so I do not wish to use that. If anybody has heard of an alternative that works with today that I can use C# to program, I'd love to hear it.
Hopefully I didn't completely confuse everybody. Thanks!
