A ncurses based Terminal UI toolkit in Lua

tuirm

tuirm (Terminal UI Rocks, Modafaka) is a ncurses based toolkit for writting console applications using Lua

What does/will it do:

• abstract the application main loop
• have a nice set of highly customizable widgets
• abstract panels, with child widgets/panels, positioned relatively to it
• handle widget focus, with default keys for traversing them
• handle inputs nicely, with common callbacks like widget.onClick and widget.onFocus and stuff
• callbacks with Lua functions (which may be closures), which is really confy to program
• handle panels/widgets layout and terminal resizes

Dependencies

For now, lcurses and argparse
