Technical Specifications

Mighty Mancala uses the cusive tui library to make all the graphics for the game. There is also a dependency on the rand crate and the cursive-aligned-view crate.

Cursive uses a cross-term backend. This backend works with many different operating systems.

Because terminals are not standard some colors or charachters may look different on different terminals. If a specific terminal is giving you trouble please use a different one.
