Hi Laura, For Win32a, I added the options of 64-bit chtypes, allowing 21 bits for the character, which covers all of Unicode. (As well as providing the additional bits needed to support attributes such as A_DIM, A_ITALIC, A_OVERLINE, etc. that don't fit in 32-bit chtypes.) I think if yo

I compared the demos using SDL1 and SDL2 with SDL2_TTF support. Results are very similar. Ran the clipboard test in testcurs and it works very nicely with SDL2 clipboard support. The biggest design issue I see is Unicode support. Looking through the code, chtype is set by default to handle 16 bi

I started looking at how difficult it would be to add SDL2 support to PDCurses as well as the current SDL 1.2.x support. I'm also looking at using SDL_TTF with a mono-spaced font instead of bitmap fonts. I'm actually making some progress and demos like firework and rain look decent. Still have s
