Build Instructions

To build and run the test:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
./test/cursor_test

Usage

To use in your own project, include:

#include <cursor/cursor.hpp>

Then you can do things like:

using namespace cur;
cout.clear();
cout.move(1, 1) << foregroundColor(255, 100, 100) << "Hello, world!" << endl;
