Demos

This repository includes several small demo applications. Each demo highlights a specific strength of the library and shows how you can use it in practice. They are useful both as quick showcases and as reference implementations when you start integrating the library into your own projects.

If you prefer learning by exploring real code, the demos are a great place to begin.

Building the Demo Applications

When this repository is used as the top-level project, the demo applications are built automatically.

If you integrate the project into a larger build or disabled demos previously, you can enable them explicitly during configuration:

$ cmake -B cmake-build-debug -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DERBSLAND_COLOR_TERM_ENABLE_DEMOS=ON .
$ cmake --build cmake-build-debug

After a successful build, you will find the demo executables in:

cmake-build-debug/demo-apps/

Each executable corresponds to one of the demos listed below.

• Minimum Effort
• Terminal Chronicle
• Command Line Help
• Display All Attributes
• Display All Colors
• Frame Color Animations
• Retro Plasma
• Frame Weaver
• Key Input Demo
• Log Viewer
• Text Gallery
• Bitmap Showcase
• Update Screen Modes
