<h4>Adapad</h4>
<p>Git repository: <a href="/cgit/cgit.cgi/adapad">Link</a></p>
<h5>8/5/2017</h5>
<p>The Ada binding for FLTK has now been moved to its own <a href="/cgit/cgit.cgi/fltkada">repository</a>.
Installing it is required to build and use Adapad, naturally. Both repositories are set up to use the GNAT
Project Manager build tools to handle all that, with any further specific details in each project's readme.</p>
<h5>2/1/2017</h5>
<p>I have a soft spot for the <a href="http://www.adaic.org/" target="_blank">Ada programming language</a>.
Strong typing, built in concurrency, readable syntax, systems support, real-time support, a general
culture of correctness and emphasising reliability... what's not to like? I also have a bit of an interest
in <a href="http://www.fltk.org/index.php" target="_blank">FLTK</a>, being one of the more prominent tiny
graphics toolkits around. Adapad is a notepad clone born as a side project from efforts to create an Ada
binding for FLTK.</p>

<p>It was modeled after <a href="http://tarot.freeshell.org/leafpad/" target="_blank">Leafpad</a>, and
the feature list is similar, currently comprising:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cut/Copy/Paste</li>
<li>Unlimited Undo/Redo</li>
<li>Select All</li>
<li>Find/Replace</li>
<li>Jump To</li>
<li>Word Count</li>
<li>Word Wrap</li>
<li>Line Numbers</li>
</ul>
<p>This is approximately what I was going for. However, at the current time of writing it is still
considered to be at v0.8 due to a few minor issues, such as the horizontal scrollbar appearing even
when only vertical scroll is possible. That may be an FLTK issue, but that's not an excuse from an end
user perspective.</p>
<p>The FLTK/Ada binding currently occupies the same repository as Adapad, but will be moved to its own as work
progresses.</p>
