1731 :: eraseScreen

  Would this be a better eraseScreen for linux ?

  proc cleanScreen*() =
       write(stdout,"\e[H\e[J")
  Run

  This seems to clear the terminal completely.

  What's wrong with the current implementation?

  Run the snippet below in linux and scroll up the terminal then rerun using eraseScreen instead of cleanScreen and scroll up. You should notice some difference, if I am not mistaken.

  import terminal
  
  let NIMX1 = "██     █    ██    ███   ██\n"
  let NIMX2 = "██ █   █    ██    ██ █ █ █\n"
  let NIMX3 = "██  █  █    ██    ██  █  █\n"
  let NIMX4 = "██   █ █    ██    ██  █  █\n"
  let NIMX5 = "██     █    ██    ██     █\n"
  
  var nimsx = @[NIMX1,NIMX2,NIMX3,NIMX4,NIMX5]
  
  
  proc cleanScreen*() =
       write(stdout,"\e[H\e[J")
  
  for x in nimsx:
      write(stdout,x)
  
  cleanScreen()
  #eraseScreen()
  Run
