Feature request: TUI (ncurses) backend #7673

Closed ay0ks closed 3 months ago

ay0ks commented 3 months ago

Version/Branch of Dear ImGui:

Version 1.90, Branch: master

Back-ends:

imgui_impl_ncurses.cpp

Compiler, OS:

Fedora 18.1.1-1.fc40 + Clang 18.1.1

Details:

My Issue/Question:

Is the official TUI backend planned for the near future? The existing imtui implementation doesn't seem to work nor compiles for the latest imgui version.

Sorry that's not planned, it would be maintaining a fringe use case that's probably not the best way to render to terminal. I believe imtui could be updated with some work. Also see #7199 where I will also post an answer.
