[racket] Curses library in Racket?

[Рикард Андершон]

Hi, all.

Bindings for curses are brought up in a demonstration of FFI bindings by
Eli Barzilay (http://docs.racket-lang.org/foreign/intro.html). However,
I can't seem to find an actual library to use for this.

Could anyone clarify if this is actually available at the moment or if
it's just something that most people either don't care about, or have
their own homegrown implementations of?

I don't have a burning interest in rolling my own, exactly, but I do
feel like it'd be nice to have a very Rackety interface for making nice
curses-based applications.

Any pointers in a useful direction are appreciated.

Hi Rickard,

It is not curses-based, but you might want to check out the lux-term library:

https://github.com/jeapostrophe/lux-charterm

http://pkg-build.racket-lang.org/doc/lux-charterm/index.html

It is available via raco:

`raco pkg install lux-charterm`

Lux-term is based on an older library, charterm, and the author of the newer
library suggests looking at the original's documentation too:

http://planet.racket-lang.org/display.ss?package=charterm.plt&owner=neil

http://planet.racket-lang.org/package-source/neil/charterm.plt/3/1/planet-docs/doc/index.html

Best regards,

Hi Rickard,
https://github.com/jeapostrophe/lux-charterm
http://pkg-build.racket-lang.org/doc/lux-charterm/index.html

My apologies, I incorrectly referred to the package as "lux-term", twice in
my previous message. The correct name of the library is lux-charterm. The
links I provided do point to the intended locations.
