Baker's choice. Dense with flavour, light on filler.
Summary
A modern, cross-platform port of Turbo Vision 2.0, the classical framework for text-based user interfaces (TUI). Originally started as a personal project in late 2018, it achieved feature parity with the original by May 2020 and was then open-sourced. The port adds Unicode support and cross-platform compatibility to the original Turbo Vision framework.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledA modern port of Turbo Vision 2.0, the classical framework for text-based user interfaces. Now cross-platform and with Unicode support.
By May 2020 I considered it was very close to feature parity with the original, and decided to make it open.
At one point I considered I had done enough, and that any attempts at revamping the library and overcoming its original limitations would require either extending the API or breaking backward compatibility.
