Installation

The only dependency is libncurses5-dev. On Debian and Debian-based systems, this should install it: apt-get install libncurses5-dev Installing termon is easy: goinstall termon.googlecode.com/hg

Usage

``` package main

import ( "termon.googlecode.com/hg" "fmt" )

func main() { // Must! term.Init()

// You may create as many colors as you want (probably).
// Usage: term.NewColor(foreground, background)
// Any color from defs.go, or 0 for default is acceptable.
color := term.NewColor(term.COLOR_RED, 0)

// Every input and output from now and on will have
// red foreground and default background.
color.On()

// Print at the current position (0, 0).
term.Add("Hello.")

// Print at the center of the terminal.
term.AddAt(*term.Cols / 2, *term.Rows / 2, "What do you love? ")

// Every input and output from now and on will have
// the default foreground and background.
color.Off()

// Get user's input. Returns on a line break.
answer := term.GetText()

// Bring our color back.
color.On()

// Disappoint the user because a machine doesn't know what love is.
term.AddAt(0, *term.Rows - 1, fmt.Sprintf("Sorry, \"%s\" is not an answer.", answer))

// Wait for next character.
term.GetChar()

// Reset the terminal.
// It will look as well as before term.Init() was called.
term.End()

} ```

Is it nice with games?

Look at hg/sample_game directory (here).
