grade_calculator

A simple program for calculating grades for your college courses, now in the Rust edition using a Cursive-built TUI. Use it to keep track of your course grades throughout the semester and track your progress.

Supported systems

If your system can use Rust/Cargo, it can run this grade_calculator. This was tested using the current version of Rust available through apt on Debian (1.63) and Homebrew on MacOS (1.68).

• Debian

$ apt install rust-all

• MacOS

$ brew install rust

Note for Windows users: Although untested, the TUI uses the cross-platform crossterm backend and should have no trouble working directly on Windows outside of WSL, if that's how you've chosen to install Rust.

Dependencies

This program relies on the cursive and cursive-aligned-view crates on crates.io.
