termbox can't detect resize events when in select()

Hm, it probably happens if both stdin and sigwinch were signalled.

https://github.com/nsf/termbox/blob/master/src/termbox.c#L666-L685

Here I just return if one of them is ready, but I don't handle a case when both are ready. I'll think about a way to fix it. But if you can fix it yourself that'd be much nicer.

The code you pointed gave me ideas and I fixed this. Basically when select() fails, I'm calling tb_peek_event() with timeout 0. When select() fails because of a resize signal, termbox is returning a resize event. Awesome!

Thanks for the help.

It's still a bit sad that some events can get lost if termbox's event handlers are not called immediately...

Yes, ideally we need some sort of raw integration into event APIs like select.

My recomendation is to use Go version of the termbox instead and Go itself as well. If that's possible. It has a proper model for dealing with events and writing event-driven stuff there is super easy.
