A futuristic, cyberpunk-themed text editor for digital denizens of the neon-lit urban sprawl.

NeonScribe is a simple yet stylish text editor designed for basic text creation and editing in a cyberpunk aesthetic. The application provides essential text editing capabilities with a distinctive visual flair reminiscent of high-tech interfaces from dystopian futures.

• Core Features: Open, create, edit, and save plain text files
• Cyberpunk Interface: Sleek, dark UI with neon red accents and futuristic animations
• Visual Feedback: Pulsating elements and status indicators keep you connected to the digital realm

• Text Editing: Full plain text editing with keyboard shortcuts
• File Operations: Create new documents, open existing files, save your work
• Cyberpunk Theme: Dark interface with neon accents and pulsating elements
• Status Feedback: Real-time status messages in cyberpunk terminology
• Cross-Platform: Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS (primarily tested on Windows)

To build and run NeonScribe, you'll need the following dependencies:

• A C++11 compatible compiler (GCC, MSVC, or Clang)
• OpenGL development libraries
• GLFW3 development libraries
• Make (on Linux/macOS) or Visual Studio (on Windows)
• Nasalization font (included or automatically downloaded)

• Visual Studio 2019 or newer with C++ desktop development components
• Alternatively, MinGW-w64 with GCC

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential libglfw3-dev libgl1-mesa-dev pkg-config

sudo dnf install gcc-c++ make glfw-devel mesa-libGL-devel pkgconfig

sudo pacman -S base-devel glfw-x11 mesa pkgconf

brew install glfw3

If you haven't already, clone this repository:

git clone <repository-url>
cd <repository-directory>

NeonScribe uses the Nasalization font for its cyberpunk aesthetic. On Windows, you can use the provided batch file to download it:

download_font.bat

On Linux/macOS, you can download it manually:

# Create a temporary directory
mkdir -p temp
# Download the font
wget -O temp/nasalization.zip https://www.1001fonts.com/download/nasalization-free.zip
# Extract it
unzip temp/nasalization.zip -d temp/nasalization
# Copy the font files
mkdir -p fonts
cp temp/nasalization/*.otf fonts/
# Clean up
rm -rf temp

To build the application, simply run:

make

This will compile the application and create an executable called neonscribe.

Use the provided batch file:

build_windows.bat

Or for a simpler build:

simple_build.bat

To build with debug symbols:

make DEBUG=1

To clean the build artifacts:

make clean

After building successfully, run the application:

./neonscribe
