use text_box::utils::{clear_screen, goto};

fn main() {

		30, 10,
		15, 6,
		2,
		"Box 1",
		"This box have a border type 2. A first level message, must be checked quickly."
	).unwrap();
	let box2 = TextBox::new(
		10, 10,
		15, 6,
		0,
		"Box 2",
		"This box have a border type 0. Normal boxed text for alingment."
	).unwrap();
	let box3 = TextBox::new(
		10, 2,
		35, 6,
		1,
		"Box 3",
		"This box have a border type 1. A second level message. \n You can create multiple boxes, just be careful with console window size."
	).unwrap();
	let box4 = TextBox::new(
		47, 2,
		15, 14,
		2,
		"Box 4",
		"If you want a new line inside a box you need to put it between spaces like \n this: ' \\n '. Formatter identifies this as a new line word, so it can be printed. \n \n Right?"
	).unwrap();

	println!("{}{}{}{}", box1, box2, box3, box4);
	
	goto(1, 40);
}
