kcurses are some simple widgets and ui abstractions for ncurses, to handle list boxes, vi-like editing fields, mouse selections, and the like.

Why?
Because sometimes gui programs are more annoying than helpful. web interfaces suck, and gtk/qt programs take up too much real estate, require too much mousing, and i find the apis a little too heavyweight for what i often need. i needed a simple curses-based database editor, and, finding no widgets that i needed, had to write my own.

Installation:
get the source
do the usual ./configure --help; ./configure; make; rigamarole
test by running make test. you should see a couple programs float by.
make install, to taste

Console Jabber Client is a Jabber client with text-based user interface resembling those known from popular IRC clients.

CJC is a Jabber/XMPP client for text terminals. Console Jabber Client uses pyxmpp library for XMPP comunication and curses for screen output. It is not finished yet, but still quite usable. Its user interface is resembling those of popular IRC clients like irssi or BitchX.

Quiet Console Town project is a console RPG city simulator.

Console RPGs have you visiting towns all the time, but Quiet Console Town puts you in the place of the mayor of a budding new city. Build shops, attract adventurers, hope villains overlook you: all the aspects of a console RPG town are yours.

Welcome to your everyday ordinary quiet console town. By the looks of your deceased friend there, youll probably want to stay a night at the Inn. Yes, those puncture wounds and missing organs certainly seem fatal, but all he needs is a good nights sleep and then (somehow) hell be good as new. In the meantime, might I direct you to our armor shop?

A bit of plate inbetween you and the monster might help you stay healthy! I see your thief seems anxious - theres some shady characters near the magic shop she might want to meet up with. Finally, once youre all done, perhaps you could look into the matter of our haunted mine...?

Quiet Console Town is a turn-based console RPG city simulator. You, as mayor, build the kind of RPG town youve always wanted heroes to visit. Buildings range from the simple Inn to the intricate dungeons beneath your mighty Citadel.

People can be as good as the most pious do-gooder, or evil as the most black-hearted villain. Make your city a bulwark against the forces of darkness, or a haven to shady characters round the world!

Curses is a terminal screen handling and optimization.

SYNOPSIS

use Curses;

initscr;
...
endwin;


Curses::supports_function($function);
Curses::supports_contsant($constant);

Curses is the interface between Perl and your systems curses(3) library. For descriptions on the usage of a given function, variable, or constant, consult your systems documentation, as such information invariably varies (:-) between different curses(3) libraries and operating systems. This document describes the interface itself, and assumes that you already know how your systems curses(3) library works.
Unified Functions
Many curses(3) functions have variants starting with the prefixes w-, mv-, and/or wmv-. These variants differ only in the explicit addition of a window, or by the addition of two coordinates that are used to move the cursor first. For example, addch() has three other variants: waddch(), mvaddch(), and mvwaddch(). The variants arent very interesting; in fact, we could roll all of the variants into original function by allowing a variable number of arguments and analyzing the argument list for which variant the user wanted to call.
Unfortunately, curses(3) predates varargs(3), so in C we were stuck with all the variants. However, Curses is a Perl interface, so we are free to "unify" these variants into one function. The section "Supported Functions" below lists all curses(3) function supported by Curses, along with a column listing if it is unified. If so, it takes a varying number of arguments as follows:
function( [win], [y, x], args );
win is an optional window argument, defaulting to stdscr if not specified.
y, x is an optional coordinate pair used to move the cursor, defaulting to no move if not specified.
args are the required arguments of the function. These are the arguments you would specify if you were just calling the base function and not any of the variants.
This makes the variants obsolete, since their functionality has been merged into a single function, so Curses does not define them by default. You can still get them if you want, by setting the variable $Curses::OldCurses to a non-zero value before using the Curses package. See "Perl 4.X cursperl Compatibility" for an example of this.

Objects

Objects are supported. Example:
$win = new Curses;
$win->addstr(10, 10, foo);
$win->refresh;
...

Any function that has been marked as unified (see "Supported Functions" below and "Unified Functions" above) can be called as a method for a Curses object.
Do not use initscr() if using objects, as the first call to get a new Curses will do it for you.

Security Concerns

It has always been the case with the curses functions, but please note that the following functions:

getstr() (and optional wgetstr(), mvgetstr(), and mvwgetstr())
inchstr() (and optional winchstr(), mvinchstr(), and mvwinchstr())
instr() (and optional winstr(), mvinstr(), and mvwinstr())

are subject to buffer overflow attack. This is because you pass in the buffer to be filled in, which has to be of finite length, but there is no way to stop a bad guy from typing.

In order to avoid this problem, use the alternate functions:

getnstr()
inchnstr()
innstr()

which take an extra "size of buffer" argument.

Teeny Weeny Microgame Engine project is a console/curses interface for playing near-arbitrary board games.
The Teeny Weeny Microgame Engine is a specification for the portable play of board- style games in a wide variety of computing environments. As proof-of-concept, teeny-cpp implements the Teeny LRFC (Lesser RFC) and many extended features with a shell-like console interface and a curses-based UI.
Despite their simple appearances, they are very extensible via C++ and basic game script code using the commands defined in the LRFC. It is intended for hard-core hobby board gamers or war gamers.
Main features:
- Acts as a reference implementation of and an experimentation ground for the Teeny LRFC.
- It has two major modes of operation: console mode (for the Power User) and curses mode (for a colorful UI).
- Internally controlled almost completely via the command language interface described in the Teeny LRFC. This allows us to extend the list of game options almost indefinately without having to change the internals of the framework. This also inherently allows us to operate the game environment via scripts containing lists of game commands.
- The scriptability means we can use arbitrary tools to generate game data. For example, creating games using bash scripts is often easier than hand-writing game scripts because we can take advantage of the advanced features of such a shell, like loops and conditionals (which are lacking in our code).
- The curses UI allows some keys to be programmed to arbitrary command strings. This makes doing common operations a snap. (i hope to improve this support to cover most keys.) For example, map a key to the command teeny-board rotate to quicky rotate your game board.
- For boardgame designers it offers a pretty simple interface for prototyping game designs.
- Generic plugins/DLL support means clients may plug in their own commands or even plug in their own plugin base types. As a demonstration, the source comes with EDeck, a plugin for handling abstract decks of cards (i.e., lists of shuffleable items from which we may pull items off the top). Of course... this plugin can be controlled via the command language interface, so its scriptable.
- The curses UI has support for manipulating all commonly-used curses text attributes, including colors, bold, blink, underline, etc., for the game board. Attributes are specified on a per-Avatar basis, and each set of attributes (colormap) may be named, loaded and saved at will. As usual, these are controlled via the command language, and are thus scriptable.
- Most parts of the interface support the use of $VARIABLES from the user. e.g., loading $TEENY_HOME/file.s11n will load the file ~/.teeny/foo.s11n. You may of course define and manipulate these variables as you wish.
- Startup of the app can be customized via a script. e.g., to load a game or macro keys, set up environment variables, etc.
- Powerful, flexible object serialization support, which means that we can add support for saving/loading near-arbitrary data with extremely little effort, without having to worry one iota about the underlying data formats, transport layers, and other bogusness. We can independently save and load almost all parts of the games state if we wish, as well. Shameless plug: http://s11n.net
- The source code is fairly hackable, if i may say so. Adding command handlers and DLLs is especially simple for even entry-level C++ coders. im always looking for ways to improve the code, so feel free to contribute :).

GalaxyMage is a free, open-source tactical/strategic RPG for Windows, Linux, and Macintosh.

The tipical RPG game system is a type of role-playing game where turn-based battles are fought on a 3D map. Examples of commercial tactical RPGs include Final Fantasy Tactics, Vandal Hearts, and Disgaea: Hour of Darkness.

Our goal is to make GalaxyMage a game that is relatively simple to pick up and play -- you can dive right in without getting bogged down in the details of the battle mechanics -- but to also allow for a lot of character development and customization.

We also intend to create a unique, advanced AI system that allows enemy units to work together as a team and employ a wide variety of strategies. And eventually, we plan on adding networked multiplayer support.

Purely character-based applications are sometimes referred to as cursed applications (originating for the library ncurses which is also used for this sequencer).

They can be run in any terminal. Furthermore, they are particularly suited for being operated over the network as terminal applications generate only little traffic. Sometimes, repositioning the mouse as required by graphical user-interfaces may not be desired, especially if the user has to switch between the PC and other equipment, frequently.

But particularly for visually impaired people, graphical user interfaces can be a barrier hard to overcome. Screen readers can help to read the text and so-called braille-displays can be used to make alphanumerical output by an application become tangible by the finger tips. However, these tools are valuable only, if the application does not make too much use of graphical symbols and different kinds of interaction with the mouse.

Cursed MIDI Sequencer is a MIDI-Sequencer which targets both terminal purists and visually impaired people. The purely character- based interface provides the kind of information needed by braille-displays and screen-readers.

But CuSE can also enable normally sighted people to run the sequencer over a network or on a low-end embedded device.
