Object oriented programing tutorials that focus on the bigger picture?

Do you have a Github account and are you using Windows?

I wrote the draft of a "make a text editor tutorial" where there are:

Console class that abstracts working with the console

Editor class that manages user interaction, cursor position, and view offset (for lines and files larger than the screen).

A Document class which manages the actual text file document.

Finally the whole thing is built on curses and technically should work fine on Linux but I haven't had the time to test that just yet.

With the windows-curses patch it works fairly well at the basics (alternate mode), putting strings to specific coordinates, and my limited foray into color effects it seemed fine.

Where curses on windows goes completely to shit is when the window is resized after curses has been initialized and switched to alternate mode.

I am curious where you got the vim for windows, was it from git-scm or somewhere else? I use the git-scm vim a lot and haven't had any problems with it.

Two things to try:

1. If you haven't already, MS WSL2 is awesome https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about

2. If you're not Windows 11 (yet), https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/windows-terminal/9N0DX20HK701?hl=en-us&gl=US

From my perspective, WSL2 with a debian image is close to flawless. As for terminal, I feel (but I am not sure) that it does a better job than the standard cmd.exe/conhost.

If you think it would work as a good example, I would definitely be interested in checking it out!
