C++ :: Make Terminal Screen Bigger In NCurses Program?
Jun 29, 2013
I wanted to make the terminal screen bigger in my NCurses program. Let's say if the defaults are 25 LINES and 80 COLS, I want to set them to 40 LINES and 120 COLS.
I've tried resizing all windows, but that did not work, because the actual terminal (console) was not resized. Then I found functions resizeterm and newterm, but they did not work. As far as my understanding goes resizeterm only updates NCurses information with the current configuration, while the window itself is not actually modified.
NCurses man page wrote:The function resizeterm resizes the standard and current windows to the specified dimensions
If I haven't made myself clear ( I sometimes make a mess of things... ), another example would be that I want my program to be fullscreen when I start it. Is this possible? It should be, I found a fullscreen NCurses program once, but the code was too confusing for me to understand.
Having read about things like SIGWINCH, I assume you must define a method for resizing the terminal screen yourself, I don't know where to start?

I am writing a program using ncurses that needs a function to highlight a line of characters on the screen. I started writing this function that took the x & y coordinates of a character on the screen and the length of characters after that to highlight. Whilst doing this I noticed that if I highlighted the last character in a row (maxX-1 in my example) it highlighted that character (as expected), and if I highlighted just the character before that (maxX-2) it also works. But if I do both, it highlights the whole row/line. Also, if there are characters in those spaces other than the 'space' character it works too, but for my program I need to be able to highlight empty spaces as well.
To highlight I am using inch() to get the character and addch() to print it because I am using some alternate characters that chgat() replaces with normal characters.
#include <ncurses.h>
int main(){
initscr();
start_color();
use_default_colors();
curs_set(0);
noecho();
int maxX=0, maxY=0;
[Code] ....

I've recently refreshed my mac by reinstalling the operating system. Uploaded the previous C and C ++ source scripts I was working with but when I go to compile them through the bash terminal it says command not found? Im not sure whats going because I thought that all the gcc files were already available? What am I messing here.

Screen Splitter will allow main screen to be split into two or more sections. It will be useful for the active program's window to be resized properly to one part of the screen. Using this utility, User will be able to do a split system desktop into two or more areas....

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
main() {
int c, n1;
n1 = 0;
while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
if (c == '')
++n1;
printf("%d", n1);
}
I have a more complicated program I'm wishing to have display the output, however, to save some time I'm using an example of a shorter version. count the lines in input and display the output in terminal when ./program is executed after compilation. To count and compute lines, words and within arrays.

I am trying to make a basic Snake game using the command window and screen refreshes. So far I have a board, snake, food, and no walls. Basically I have it so the snake moves like the traditional snake in the game, when it eats the food once it grows. However when it eats the food a second time the game crashes. I think I have narrowed the issue down to the grow array that I have (below) but I am not sure if the issue could be a result of something else.
Grow Array
cord growArray (cord *p_values, int *size)
{
*size = *size + 1;
cord *p_new_values = new cord[ *size ];

As part of class project I'm working with the following code...
Item.h
#ifndef ITEMH
#define ITEMH
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
[Code] ...
The plan is to add a new method 'resize' where a new array will copy the contents of the first original array and modify the already existing 'add' method to call 'resize' when necessary.
Up till now, in the constructor I created the new array, should I give the array a default value?

The following code works perfectly with "normal" C++
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
int main() {
std::vector <std::string> hello {
[Code] ....
This prints "HELLO" on the screen. A function a bit more like NCurses is:
for (std::vector <std::string>::const_iterator it = hello.begin(); it != hello.end(); it++) {
std::string temp = *it;
std::cout << temp.c_str() << std::endl;
}
This still works with "normal" C++. Now, how do I get this working with NCurses? I tried
#include <curses.h>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
int main() {
initscr();
[Code] ....
But this just gives me an empty screen.

I'm trying to write a program that prints all of the prime numbers to the screen. I'm getting angry because it only prints EVERY number. I think it has something to do with the bool change not being able to leave the for-loop but how to fix it.
Code:
#import <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
int main(void){
printf("
The Primes Are: 1");

So, I'm making a program in C++ that emulates a full screen console... I used SetCurrentConsoleFontEx to set the font to 12x16 but it sucks...
Anyway, I read here: [URL] .... that also the console font can be changed, but I can't make it work! How can i set the font to Lucida Console? This is the function I use to change font size:
void setFontSize(int x, int y) {
PCONSOLE_FONT_INFOEX lpConsoleCurrentFontEx = new CONSOLE_FONT_INFOEX();
lpConsoleCurrentFontEx->cbSize = sizeof(CONSOLE_FONT_INFOEX);
GetCurrentConsoleFontEx(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), NULL, lpConsoleCurrentFontEx);
lpConsoleCurrentFontEx->dwFontSize.X = x;
lpConsoleCurrentFontEx->dwFontSize.Y = y;
SetCurrentConsoleFontEx(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), NULL, lpConsoleCurrentFontEx);
}

I have to write a program that stores information about students and displays results (Formated). Example-
Inputs ( # of students, First and Last name of student, the gender, age, and hieght. (height inputed as inches and outputed as feet and inches))
Student 2
---------
Jett, Joan Female
100 years old 5' 7"
Ive been falling behind a little due to working late and barely having time for my school work. Coming across several issues, one being an error with GENDER (Error C4700: uninitialized local variable 'gender' used:). As well as how to format the end result, i understand that u have to use #include <iomanip>, but am confused on how to format correctly.

For my C programming module, I've been asked to create a program which is basically a ten question mathematics quiz or test if you like. Below is a copy and paste of my current, working program.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
int main () {
[Code]....
I am also trying to include into my program; If the user achieves 4 or less marks in the test, they are asked if they would like to repeat the test (have a second chance).
I have been asked by my Lecturer to ask the Question; "Would you like to try again" and the response is 'Y' for yes, 'N' for no. Would this be shown by:
char Y = Y;
char N = N;
printf("Would you like another go?");
scanf(%d%, &Y, &N);
And finally; If the user would like another go, then I am trying to include the code that clears the screen and then reloads the program?
What code is used to clear the screen and no clue what code is written to refresh or reload the program. I assume it's a loop statement or some sort.

• Airline - [string of maximum length 15] Name of the airline, eg. FlySAA
• Flight Number - [string of maximum length 5] eg. 04120
• Origin - [string of maximum length 25] Place where the flight originated from eg. Johannesburg
• Date/Time - [integers: Hour, Minute, Day, Month, Year] Arrival time of the flight

I seem to be missing a concept or 2 here ... I am tasked with writing a program that reads text from a file and outputs each line to the screen as well as to another file PRECEDED by a line number ...
In addition, I have to Print the line number at the start of the line and right-adjusted in a field of 3 spaces ...
Follow the line number with a colon then 1 space, then the text of the line.
Another kicker, is I have to grab the data 1 character at a time and write code to ignore leading blanks on each line.
Here is what I have so far:
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;
int main() {
char next;
int count = 0;
[Code] ....

Basically this is what i need to do. Write a program that reads a number from the keyboard, separates it into its individual digits and prints the digits to screen, each on its own line followed by the same number of stars as itself.
For example, if the number is 2339 the program should print
9 *********
3 ***
3 ***
2 **
So far i have managed to separate the number and have them on different lines, but how to implement the stars onto each line with the number!
My code so far:
int main() {
int n;
printf("number? ");
scanf("%d", &n);
while (n > 0) {
printf("
%d
