LCV is a TUI-based (Text User Interface) playground designed to help users explore and understand line coding techniques used in digital communication systems.

Its main goal is to visually represent how binary data is transformed into electrical waveforms, allowing users to see in real time how different encoding schemes such as NRZ, RZ, AMI, Manchester, and others affect the signal.

With a lightweight and intuitive interface, LCV allows you to:

• Enter custom bit sequences.
• Dynamically switch between multiple line coding methods.
• Visualize how the waveform changes depending on the selected encoding scheme.

Perfect for students, educators, and networking/telecommunications enthusiasts who want a simple yet powerful tool to learn by visualizing.

Note: All line coding methods available in this playground are bipolar schemes, where the signal can switch between positive, zero, and negative voltage levels depending on the encoding rules.

• rustup / Cargo (Rust toolchain). Install from https://rustup.rs if needed.

1. Clone this repository.
2. From the project root:
   • Debug build: cargo build
   • Release build (optimized): cargo build --release

The final binary will be located in the target directory.

You can optionally install the binary system-wide or user-wide by using:

cargo install --path {path_to_project}

If you prefer not to build from source, you can download a pre-built binary from the Releases section of this repository.
