choiceMaker.h

choiceMaker.h is a lightweight C library to navigate and select items directly from the terminal.

Install

Simply put choiceMaker.h in your includes folder. Yeah it's simple like that

You can download with that :

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wirenux/choiceMaker.h/refs/heads/main/choiceMaker.h 

or

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wirenux/choiceMaker.h/refs/heads/main/choiceMaker.h

How to use ?

To use choiceMaker.h in a C file you need to adds:

#include "../includes/choiceMaker.h" // Adjust path if necessary

Then you can call choice_from_array() to launch the menu:

const char *options[] = {"Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3"};
const char *choice = choice_from_array("Select an option:", options, 3);

printf("You selected: %s\n", choice);

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include "choiceMaker.h"

int main(void) {
    const char *options[] = {"Apple", "Banana", "Cherry"};
    const char *choice = choice_from_array("Select a fruit:", options, 3);

    printf("You selected: %s\n", choice);
    return 0;
}
