Library for working with console

This library can be used to create application with console UI. It supports:

• colors
• text positioning
• keyboard events handling

Implementation uses:

• conio.h and wincon.h on Windows
• ncurses.h on Unix-based OS

Using

Just copy console.h and console.c to your project and use them:

#include "console.h"

That's all for Windows.

On Unix-based OS you should also have ncurses library installed.

For example, use apt-get on Linux:

apt-get install libncurses5-dev

Or use your favourite package manager on your favourite OS.

After this add -lncurses to gcc options of your project.

Example

There is an example.c which can be useful to understand using of this library.

To build and run on Windows just compile all files together.

On Unix-based OS it's easy too:

make && ./example
