Programming / Re: Help me find a better language than C++

It sounds like you entered this thread with your mind already set on bashing every language that isn't C++.

Guess what language C++ learned from? Never forget, from the creator of C++ himself - C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do it blows your whole leg off.

I'm done feeding the troll(s).

It does have a compiler - which compiles Nim to C and then invokes the system's C compiler.

Quite a few programming languages do this.

C++ is not the best programming language, and if you think it is you either -

A) Haven't been programming for long enough

or

B) Haven't been programming C++ for long enough

Python is a real programming language. It is not a scripting language.

I'd give Nim a shot.

Programming / Re: BearLibTerminal: a pseudo-terminal window library for roguelike

« on: July 04, 2017, 04:59:01 PM »

Howdy - I'm new to the forums as well as bearlibterminal.

I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to call terminal_read_str and obfuscate the input, for creating something like a password input field.

I know I don't have to use terminal_read_str but I do like the cursor functionality that it exposes.

Ideally I'd like the text to appear as ***** as it's being typed, since I'm attempting to create a password field with this functionality.

Is this possible?

Thanks!
