Running the exe file from terminal shows weird characters which causes the program to misbehave

[Typeaway14]

In the VScode terminal, the program runs properly.

Since we used this inbuilt terminal to run the code, the issue was never caught. While running in Command Prompt or Powershell terminal, some weird characters are seen:

Command Prompt^

Powershell^

Colors are not visible and the TC_MOVE_CURSOR Macro is being displayed on the terminal instead of performing it's expected function.

Macros defined

Notice the macros being substituted as is

Please find a solution to this and explain the issue once found. Thanks!

Looking into the issue, I have discovered that adding support for ANSI character encoding in the terminals should help resolve this issue. Currently working on this myself but feel free to come up with solutions for this yourselves

[Typeaway14]

Have found a possible solution on Windows systems:
Running the following registry edit command in Command Prompt/Powershell in the administrator mode enables ANSI and UTF-8 character encoding on windows terminals

reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console /v VirtualTerminalLevel /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001 /f

Running the reg edit^

Code working on CMD^

Code working on Powershell^

Need to find a way to perform this registry edit through the C code so that any device Tyrbo is run on can display the characters properly

Have added a batch file with #38 that will initialise the terminal by running the registry edit command automatically. This just needs to be executed using the system() function when TYRBO is executed.
This cannot be done simply however and will require a fork() of the process to be made where the batch file is to be executed. Working on this.
