Just `ncurses`!

## Building

This project uses CMake for building. You can find many guides on how to use it
on the internet, but here's the basic process:

```sh
# Clone and enter the repo
git clone https://github.com/pbnjk/edit.git && cd edit

# Create and enter the build directory
mkdir build && cd build

# Set up the build
cmake ..

# You can add some extra options on the last step
# I set it up like this usually:
# cmake -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

# Make the project!
make
```

This "guide" assumes you have CMake already installed. If you don't...get on it.

It may complain about `ncurses` being missing. Again, I trust you to be able to
install it on your own...

## Other Things

This project was created for the [Summer of Making](https://summer.hackclub.com)
event. Here's to that Framework laptop (or the DIY headphone!)

The [ncurses](https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/) library is licensed under
the MIT license.

This project is licensed under the MIT license. You may use it for whatever,
though I don't recommend you do. Everything you can learn here can be found
implemented better and more efficiently in other projects and repositories.

At the very least, I hope this encourages you to create similarly useless
software. It may not seem like it, but it is one of the many joys this world
still has to offer.

This project was made without the help of LLMs. I think that is worth something
these days.

You can open a PR if you like. Please make it clear if you used an LLM to write
it; I'll still look it over if you do...I'd like if someone could get this to
compile on windows. I don't really have a machine to test it, and I don't think
it wise to use wine to test it in this case.

Thanks! Love you! Kisses!
