How do I make a gui in C++?
I would like to know if this is even possible in repl.it. I have seen most tutorials saying I need to install programs on my computer to do this but I have no clue. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Ask coding questions
I don't think you can do that with just a C++ repl (unless you're okay with making a GUI using the console).
You can do it in C++, but try a polyglott repl so you can download the necessary libraries (it also gives you access to a graphics window).
@SPQR
Has done a lot of stuff like this on repl if you want graphics through C++ code.
(I hope you don't mind me linking this SPQR if you read this)

@mwilki7 I don't mind being linked, I'm always happy to help :)
Also, @JordanDixon1 to answer the original question, I myself have been working on trying to get any one of the popular C++ GUI libraries to work on here with little success thus far :P However, the
<ncurses.h>library is great for making GUIs in the console, and works perfectly well on repl.it! You should even be able to use it in a regular C++ repl, if you add-lncursesto the run command.It also should be noted that C++ is notoriously bad at making GUIs. ncurses is one of the few libraries that work very well.
The manual/docs for ncurses can be found here.
