Simple TUI library

Description

This project is my latest attempt to create a modular end extensible TUI library that takes care of the positioning of the elements on the screen and their nesting.

As of know it has all of the necessary features for me to start building some staff with it, and figure out the rest as I go.

Dependencies

• CMake 3.14 or latter
• Compiler with C++20 support (tested on clang version 19.1.7)

Building and installing

The library provides the following classes:

• LayoutRigid: Divide a screen into custom rectangles
• Window: Bass class for drawing to the screen
• WindowPivot: Window that can be placed in the corners or center of the layout
