da-luce/astroterm ★ 2036 50 APPLICATION

Astroterm is a terminal-based star map application written in C. It renders the real-time positions of stars, planets, the Moon, and constellation figures using ASCII or Unicode characters. The system computes celestial positions from the Yale Bright Star Catalog, Keplerian orbital elements, and user-specified date/time and location (latitude/longitude or city name). It projects the visible sky onto the terminal via a stereographic projection and uses ncurses for display and input. The build system is Meson with Ninja, supporting Linux, macOS, and Windows. The codebase is well-structured into separate modules for astronomy calculations (astro.c), coordinate transforms (coord.c), terminal rendering (drawing.c, term.c), and data parsing (parse_BSC5.c, city.c). It includes comprehensive unit tests using Unity and CI via GitHub Actions. The application is highly configurable through command-line arguments and demonstrates strong craftsmanship in astronomical computations and terminal graphics.
