TF: the terminal issue I was talking about yesterday

<@TheWatcher>
http://fleet.starforge.co.uk/clear.c - the code snippet
13:39
<@TheWatcher>
I'm tempted to include a comment about spiders.

<@TheWatcher>
(needless to say, this code will be supplied for the students, not expected to be written...)

Why are the students targeting windows anyways?
14:55
<@ToxicFrog>
"Here's an xterm. Here's the ANSI escape sequences. Here's the DEC VT220 interface manual. go wild."
15:00
<@TheWatcher>
TF: They aren't
15:00
<@TheWatcher>
But they are using windows

I can't just say "here's something that works on linux. You can go and install it, or sucks to be you"
15:01
<@TheWatcher>
s/linux/cygwin/ or whatever.

This isn't even code they need to write - they are writing the actual guts of the code, I'm just providing a means to display it that doesn't rely on other libraries and several hundred lines of code
15:10
<@ToxicFrog>
Aah.
15:10
<@ToxicFrog>
Although, I contend you can say that, depending on the available environment. It certainly works here.

<@TheWatcher>
This is an introductory level C course, aimed at conversion MSc students, individuals in industry who need a C qualification, and the general public.
15:12
<@ToxicFrog>
Assignments target linux. You don't have linux? Here's SSH keys for the lab cluster, or you can stop by the CS Club offices and they'll be glad to help you set up Linux or Cygwin on your computer.
15:12
<@TheWatcher>
A distance learning course too.
15:13
<@TheWatcher>
And you have no idea how much fun we have with the ARM System Design course in that regard (where people need to connect to our systems, as standalone licenses of the software involved run over £6k)
15:13
<@ToxicFrog>
None of those appeal? Well, that's your choice, but whatever you turn in has to run on the lab computers.

17:33 * ToxicFrog reworks the libres interface again

<@MyCatVerbs>
ToxicFrog: aka the standard university approach.

<@MyCatVerbs>
ToxicFrog: which gets vaguely funny when you use BSD at home. :)
