Hi,
I'm just learning cpp, and something I've had on my mind for awhile is
to make a little "virtual console screen" class structure.
In it I want to be able to do "text animation" - moving letters across
the screen position-by-position, and whatnot.
First thought was to make a 2d array representing the screen, do
whatever updates i want, then cout it all - update by update, frame by
frame.
I assume this would be absurdly slow?
Is there a library already out there that contains this sort of
functionality? It'd be cool to check approaches taken by others...
Just to be clear - I'm imagining this all taking place in console-text
output - no graphics of any sort are in view here.

it's not c++ specific, but under unix, curses and its successor ncurses,
are used for text handling on CRTs.

Hi.
I just finished reading an introductory Python book called "Python Programming for the absolute beginner" by Michael Dawson. I found it very interesting, and easy to follow. Python does really look similar to C/C++ and Java. In the book, the author imported other modules that were from the standard library of Python. I tried reading some of the modules in the standard library in Python's Lib folder. I'm just a beginner to Python, and didn't...

Hi!
I want to create a module myproject.ui.curses, which needs to import the
curses library.
However, if I just write ``import curses``, the module imports *itself*
instead of the standard library's curses module.
Is there any (reliable) way to access a module of the standard library
if the names conflict as in this case?

So in a further attempt to learn some Python, I've taken the little

(http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/f6a9ccf1bc136f84)
I wrote and added several features to it. Readers now quit when they've
read all the books in the Library. Books know how many times they've
been read. Best of all, you can now create your own list of books to

Again, the point of all this is to get used to...

In another thread it was pointed out that I'd made a booboo with
strcpy : one that that I've, if I'm honest, made many times
before. Not out of badness, just because since I first programmed C
back in 1986 (and have done so for about 25 % of the time since then)
or so I never really looked at the manpage for strcpy :
this combined with K&Rs famous pointer lessons which lead to 2 or 3
versions of a linear start to finish strpy implementatin...

The whole concept of the struct tm seems way too highlevel for my taste

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
