Making an editor looking like Borland Turbo C with language C + ncurses?


Hello,

I would like to ask you if you know a possible source code that mimic the editor of Borland C.

It is a cool IDE on DOS editor.

Visibly this is an interest of many persons still.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5...-c-like-editor

Here my tiny code that does a first code part. If you like to join, your turn is to give color and make its looks closer.

herewith the source code: https://github.com/spartrekus/ncateditor
Screenshot #1 (black theme)
Screenshot #2 (blue/yellow, original theme for linux console)

Have Fun Programming in C!

gnuemacs.

Text editor with a large amount of configurable capabilities.

You can configure custom color themes.

You can configure it to auto-indent code and assist with matching braces.

You can run secondary tools from within it, including: compile, debug, code parsers, search, compare, merge.

You can operate all from within one frame or use multiple frames.

You can run it from the command line.

You can extend the capabilities of the editor freely, or find projects which others have posted.

Source is available on GitHub.

Well as I said on another thread, your coding practice and your source code is not "mature" enough to allow serious contributors to join the train.

It's a cool idea btw. One alternative is to use dosbox and execute the authentic IDE.
