That assumes a fixed width font, which is not a portable assumption.
I've never seen a TTY that had not a fixed font.
It also assumes that the display is at least 26 wide by 8 high,
which is also not portable.
No, it works on classic TTY.
Proven on DEC Eclipse about 20 years ago. That was the method the game
startec had woked.
Heck, it assumes *a* display, which is not portable.
No, except you'll say that a TTY is a screen.
There's no way to do
"menus and borders" in the way the OP presumably intends in portable C, so
it hardly matters.
Not true as old classic gaemes written for TTYs and green color
monitors have already proven.

With a proportional font it will still work, but just look weird.
What hosted C environment has a display less than 26x8 characters?
What lets you think that each hosted environment has a need for such
displays? I've seen man whereas the display is only one single line
LCD display, having a console with keyboard and TTY like printer.
My program will also work on teletype printer terminals -- it does not
require a display.

I'm try to convert a glyph into a format I can easily numerically

that represents the outline of a contour in a glyph:
from ttfquery import describe, glyphquery, glyph
f = describe.openFont("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/
FreeSans.ttf")
n = glyphquery.glyphName(f, 'D')
g = glyph.Glyph(n)
c = g.calculateContours(f)

I once suggested in that SomeOne Else(TM) should propose
a string value class that accepted literals and char pointers and so on,
with possible custom deleter, and in case of literal strings just
carrying the original pointer.
In other words, for the simplest usage code:
* no overhead (just carrying a pointer or two), and
* no possibility of exceptions (for that case).

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.

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,...
