# Simple Raylib Text Editor
This is a basic text editor built from scratch using C++ and the Raylib library.
This editor utilizes a Piece Table data scructure for efficient text manipulation.
## Preview
## Features
* **File Operations:** Open, Save, Save As.
* **Editing:** Copy, Paste, Undo, Redo.
* **Navigation:**
* Move the cursor using the **Arrow Keys**.
* Select text by holding **Shift** while moving the cursor with **Arrow Keys**.
* Scroll through the text using the **Mouse Wheel**.
## Building from Source
You can compile the editor yourself using `make`.
1. **Prerequisites:** Ensure you have a C++ compiler (like g++) and `make` installed. You also need the Raylib library development files set up correctly for your system.
2. **Clone the repository:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/matteoppet/Text-editor.git
cd repository_name
```
3. **Build:**
```bash
make
```
This will generate an executable file (e.g., `editor.exe`) in the project directory.
## Download
A pre-compiled executable for Windows is available on the [GitHub Releases page](https://github.com/matteoppet/Text-editor/releases/tag/v1.0.0).
## Credits

* [Raylib](https://www.raylib.com/) - For graphics and input handling.
* [Tiny File Dialogs](https://sourceforge.net/projects/tinyfiledialogs/) - For native open/save file dialogs.
