This is the continuation in the series of LCARS app development:

• LCARS Elbow
• LCARS Frame

This time I focused on implementing a text editor from scratch in Raylib.

This is for something like the personal log / Captain’s log use-case.

Works better in the full screen version available here

Features

• Mouse over text area to allow editing text
• Insert text - only at the end for now… Will work on a gab buffer or something in the future to allow moving the cursor and edit text anywhere.
• Text selection forwards and backwards with mouse click and drag
• Delete from the end with backspace key - holding down backspace will delete text with a delay
• Delete selected text with backspace or delete key
• Copy paste with Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V
• Using the native app (not for web yet), saving text into a local DB (sqlite)
  • restarting the app, retains the saved text
• Rotating Earth, before it was just a sphere wireframe.

These feature may seem basic (for the text editor for instance), but remember I’m implementing this from scratch in Raylib, so it’s a start…

Works best on desktop. Did not look into making it mobile friendly yet.
