Yes, but still tiny. Normal minimum would be 80x25 (maybe 80x24). I
like to go a lot larger. When I'm com

This now seems way simpler than trying to play with Gtk or Qt.
Depends on what you mean by "simpler". You've just

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out where 'simpler' stops and 'too simplistic'
begins. That's what I call 'absolute simplicity'. It is a necessity in
some areas of learning where even a jot of inefficiency can be costly
(consider a superconducting magnet just below the critical frequency

Hi,
Current software development methods make things way more complex than
they need to be. I am trying to get an idea for how simple things can
be from final product down to low level implementation, hoping to
recover the code density miracles that the old school Forthers turned
out ages ago.

I think that's too simplistic :-) but I'll take it as merely a
preference on your part for simplicity at this time.

What is needed for proper learning is near-absolute simplicity.
Even one toy too many to play with is an intolerable distraction,
but one too few massively hampers learning and induces boredom.
I want to be able to say:
1. Put a nice picture on the background.
