i'm working on a project and I'm doing it in python with curses. seems cool so far. it tells me when the terminal size changes and I can write text to the screen and handle input. I'm not having too much trouble finding documentation/examples. should I be using some other bullshit? curses is available on the host I'm working with (sdf dot org) and I assume its available on a wide variety of platforms so it seems natural to me. also is it normal to wrap the write function so it doesn't crash the program every time you accidentally write outside the screen buffer

I hosed around with curses for some roguelike projects it’s kinda of a pita. wrapping most of it in a function to cleanly exit on an exception or something without loving your terminal up is pretty normal I think

curses is one of those libraries that makes you think “oh drat, I could do a whole aesthetic in this. why did computers ever evolve guis?” and then “I want to kill myself” like 5 mins later

well I'm having an ok time programming with curses, it seems to do what I need. I'm wrapping functions to make them do what I want (i.e. a wrapper around getkey() to handle inputs like KEY_RESIZE in a useful way). i'll let you know if I find any cool tricks

ah, screen.getstr() returns a bytes object and not an actual string, so I have to decode it from utf8 or whatever to actually use it. strange choice

If you wanted a tree skip the python and just bury a seed, ya silly!
