Fedora 34 : Programming with the ncurses library - part 003.

This is a simple example with ncurses library to see how can define an array and used with random colors:

This example is build with this command:

[mythcat@desk ncursesProject]$ gcc test_008.c -o test_008 -lncurses

This is source code:

#include <ncurses.h>
#include <stdlib.h> 

int main(void) {
    
    initscr();
    
    start_color();
    
    char colors[8][20] = {
    "COLOR_BLACK",
    "COLOR_RED",
    "COLOR_GREEN",
    "COLOR_YELLOW",
    "COLOR_BLUE",
    "COLOR_MAGENTA",
    "COLOR_CYAN",
    "COLOR_WHITE"
    };
    
    int n;
    for ( n=0 ; n<16 ; ++n )
    {
        int aleator1 = rand() % 256 + 1;
        int result1 = *colors[aleator1];
        int aleator2 = rand() % 256 + 1;
        int result2 = *colors[aleator2];
        //printw("%d",result1);
        init_pair(n, result1, result2);
        attron(COLOR_PAIR(n));
        printw("Hello word!\n");
    }
    
    refresh();

    getch();

    endwin();
}
