[Tickit-dev] C library project

[Bruce Mitchener]

Hello!

As you know, but other readers would not, I'm using libtickit from the C
level and have written bindings to use it from Open Dylan (
http://opendylan.org/). The bindings can be found at
https://github.com/dylan-foundry/tickit-dylan/.

As such, I've found that having the Tickit::Window code in C would indeed
be useful and so I've started on this:

    https://github.com/waywardmonkeys/libtickit/tree/tickit-window

The files src/window.c and include/tickit-window.h include my work in
progress.  I'm building my own widget layer in Dylan, but having the
C-based tickit-window is going well.

(All of this is so that I can put a terminal-based UI on the Deuce editor.
Deuce is a descendant of ZWEI from the Lisp Machine days which was i turn a
descendant of early emacs.  My code for this is present at
https://github.com/dylan-foundry/deuce-terminal.)
