neercs

neercs is a work-in-progress libcaca project.

[More] thumbnails of your shells * Special effects when closing a window * Various window layouts... [Less]

lanterna

Lanterna (or "lantern") is a Java library allowing you to write easy semi-graphical user interfaces in a text-only environment, very similar to curses. Lanterna is supporting xterm compatible terminals and terminal emulators such as konsole, gnome-terminal, putty, xterm and many more. One ... [More] of the main benefits of lantern is that it's not dependent on any native library but runs 100% in pure Java. Also, when running Lanterna on computers with a graphical environment (such as Windows or Xorg), a terminal emulator written in Swing will be used rather than standard output. This way, you can develop as usual from your IDE (most of them doesn't support ANSI control characters in their output window) and then deploy to your headless server without changing anything.

termbox

Termbox library is a simple and clean ncurses alternative. Of course everything has it's own price. In this case it's portability and stability. Currently all sources are hosted on github: GitHub (git://github.com/nsf/termbox.git) Also I have uploaded a snapshot from git. And I will ... [More] continue to do it from time to time. Screenshot - demo program 'keyboard': The interface only consists of 12(!) functions. tb_init() // initialization tb_shutdown() // shutdown tb_width() // width of the terminal screen tb_height() // height of the terminal screen tb_clear() // clear buffer tb_present() // sync internal buffer with terminal tb_put_cell() tb_change_cell() tb_blit() // drawing functions tb_select_input_mode() // change input mode tb_peek_event() // peek a keyboard event tb_poll_event() // wait for a keyboard eventIt's extremly easy to use and fast to learn. I bet you can fully understand principles of this library in a day. [Less]
