Curses is designed to facilitate GUI-like functionality on a text-only device, such as a PC running in console mode, a hardware ANSI terminal, a Telnet or SSH client, or similar. Curses-based software is software whose user interface is implemented through the curses library, or a compatible library (such as ncurses).
ncurses (new curses) is a programming library for creating textual user interfaces (TUIs) that work across a wide variety of terminals; it is written in a way that attempts to optimize the commands that are sent to the terminal, so as reduce the latency experienced when updating the displayed content.
The Curses based category also lists applications which use the curses programming interface as well as those which use a particular implementation of curses. Subcategories This category has only the following subcategory.
PDCurses is a public domain software programming library for DOS, OS/2, Windows, X11 and SDL2. It is a continuation of the original curses system - while development of curses ended in the mid-1990s, work on ncurses and PDCurses continued. PDCurses implements most of the functions available in the original X/Open and UNIX System V R4 curses.
CDK is a library written in C that provides a collection of widgets for text user interfaces (TUI) development. The widgets wrap ncurses functionality to make writing full screen curses programs faster. Perl [1] [2] and Python [3] bindings are also available. There are two versions of the library.
Rogue screenshot CAR. The player character is an adventurer. The game starts at the uppermost level of an unmapped dungeon with myriad monsters and treasures. The goal is to fight a way to the bottom level, retrieve the Amulet of Yendor ("Rodney" spelled backwards), then ascend to the surface. [1]
This library also has additional functions inspired from the successful Turbo Pascal one. Compilers that target non-DOS operating systems, such as Linux or OS/2, provide similar solutions; the unix-related curses library is very common here. Another example is SyncTERM's ciolib.
