Re: Curses alternative for Lisp?

<anteRUN@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> tried to confuse everyone with this message:


So, what do people use to build text based menu systems, and to do other
terminal based maneuvers in lisp? In C I would reach for curses, but
what now? Any hints?

Use CFFI to call Ncurses _or_ PDcurses (to cover non-Linux systems). A
reasonably useful implementation can be found here:

http://common-lisp.net/project/lifp/sewers-src.zip

(check out curses.lisp; it also contains some bloat such as REPL
implementation; oh, there is also a whole game that uses the library)
