CurveCrafter is a terminal-based tool that visualizes mathematical functions. It’s split into 2 parts, a very basic cli game-engine and a very basic math parser, so the project can be taken appart to take and use any tool you want.

  • I tried making the character move with WASD which made me realize my old code didn’t work as expected so I switched input detection on windows from using <conio.h> to <windows.h>.
  • And as you see the new input system works very well.
  • Also planning to add docs for anyone who wants to use the game-engine by itself for himself…

Rename and simplify renderer functions, add FPS control, and add keyboard constants.
init_win_cli() -> init_renderer(), clear_con() -> clear_console(), swap_buffers(float) -> swap_buffers() and a new set_fps(float) were introduced.
init_renderer() now sets a default fps of 60.
main.c updated to use the new renderer API (init_renderer, clear_console, swap_buffers) and removed the old cursor positioning usage.
Also added KEY_A..KEY_Z defines to src/input/win_input.h for letter key codes.

Will add a camera system and a status bar with usefull commands in the future.

Introduce key constants and input helper functions (esc_pressed, key_pressed, arrow_key_pressed) in win_input.* to centralize keyboard handling. Add draw_char and draw_chars wrapper functions in renderer to encapsulate WriteConsoleOutputCharacterA usage and update main to use draw_char. Minor whitespace/comment cleanup in main.

Refactor codebase to separate Windows and Unix platform layers and improve build targets.

  • Makefile: add CC/CFLAGS, variables, and explicit win and unix targets; run now uses the built binary. Unix build is stubbed with a helpful message (unix support not implemented yet).
  • Platform refactor: rename/move Windows-specific modules: src/input.c -> src/input/win_input.c and src/win_cli.c -> src/renderer/win_renderer.c; corresponding headers moved/renamed under input/ and renderer/.
  • Additions: add placeholder Unix sources/headers (src/input/unix_input.* and src/renderer/unix_renderer.*) to prepare for Unix support.
  • Remove cli_os_layer.h and replace with conditional includes in main.c (#ifdef _WIN32 / #else) to include the correct platform headers.
  • API change: swap_buffers parameter type changed from int to float; implementation adjusts Sleep timing (Sleep(fps / 3.75)) and call site updated from swap_buffers(16) to swap_buffers(60.0).

These changes prepare the project for cross-platform support and cleaner separation of platform-specific code while improving the build workflow for Windows. Unix implementation remains to be completed.

Made basic text rendering with double buffering to reduce flicker.
