A (very basic no pun intended) window manager, written in QB64
Due to QB64 restrictions, it does not currently support X/Wayland/etc. However, I do intend to make a thing that can interface to programs using QB64's TCP functionality, but that would be in the far future. As it stands now, it's merely a proof-of-concept, and not practical by any means.
If you want to contribute, I will happily allow it. I don't have alot of time on my hands, and this isn't exactly a high priority for me, so any contibutions will be appreciated.
Simply open wm.bas in the QB64 IDE, and press F5 to compile and run!

Controls are:
- Click and drag to move a window,
- click a window's titlebar to get it's focus,
- right click and drag to resize,
- when the log window is in focus, pressing Shift+= spawns a new window,
- pressing Space while left-clicking the title bar opens a context menu, that when clicked, closes the selected window, and
- the "Text editor" window is a simple text editor, as the name implies.
It requires using at least version 1.4 of QB64 to compile, because $NOPREFIX is not available in versions earlier than that.
