CometTex Editor

Picture of a battle in my game Random Fate

CometTex Editor is a terminal text editor written in C. It can save and create new files and has syntax highlighting for a couple of languages.

This is a command line text editor, which I made while I was learning the C language.

I followed an article since this was the first C program I have ever written. While I was creating CometTex. I learned a lot about the linux terminal. Like the "\x1b[" ANSI escape codes that control/manipulate the terminal. I feel like this was a great way to get into C and lower level programming.

Since then I've decided to continue CometTex by myself and have been adding many features like

Line Numbers
Config File
Modal Editing (Having two modes. One for for editing and one for commands)

I'm still currently working on CometTex and learning how to implement Copy and Pasting & Multiple Editors (So you can easily switch between files)
