# T-Write++ Terminal-Based Text Editor

**Version 1.1.0 now out with new cursor system.**

T-Write++ is a terminal-based text editor written in C++. It has many different features, and boasts a very user-friendly intuitive syntax/user interface, very reminiscent of the command-line Python and Lua, as well as the Pico-8 fantasy console. 

It can be used for general-purpose text editing, note-taking, and even basic programming!



(The program shown above—source and executable—is available in the `DemoProgram` folder)

## Features:

T-Write++ includes a few basic features:

- Reading a file

- Editing a file

- Creating a new file

- Deleting a file

There is even a cursor system that allows you to append and remove text from anywhere you want, unlike other terminal-based text editors! The cursor can be moved left with `CTRL + J` and right with `CTRL + L`.



Using the command `help` in the T-Write++ menu will display a list of possible actions.



It has a menu system quite reminiscent of the command-line Python (`python` or `python3`) and Lua (`lua`), as well as the PICO-8 and TIC-80 fantasy consoles.

## To Use:

T-Write++ uses Unix-specific system commands which are only available on MacOS and Linux. A Dockerfile is included that can create a Linux virtual machine and enable you to run the application on Windows.

### MacOS/Linux:

Run the Makefile:

`make -B`

Run the program:

`./program`

### Windows:

Build the Docker image: `docker build . -t twrite`

Run the image: `docker run -it twrite`

(Note: the program will immediately quit if you omit the `it` flag)
