ncurses compiled for BeOS 5.x.
The Ncurses (new curses) library is a free software emulation of curses in System V Release 4.0, and more. It uses Terminfo format, supports pads and color and multiple highlights and forms characters and function-key mapping, and has all the other SYSV-curses enhancements over BSD Curses.
That's nice but what is it really?
It's a toolkit for developing "GUI-like" apps which run under a terminal emulator. It has nice colours and allows you to move the cursor around all over the place. Checkout the screenshot of worms below and realise that they were running all over the screen when i did the screen capture.
The ncurses code was developed under GNU/Linux. It should port easily to any ANSI/POSIX-conforming UNIX. It has even been ported to OS/2 Warp! And now BeOS. It compiles from source with no modifications under BeOS 5.
The distribution includes the library and support utilities, including a terminfo compiler tic, a decompiler infocmp, clear, tput, tset, and a termcap conversion tool captoinfo. Full manual pages are provided for the library and tools.
