termbox2

Terminal rendering library for creating TUIs

termbox2 is a terminal rendering library for creating TUIs. It is an alternative to the ubiquitous ncurses library. It ships with built-in support for popular terminals and can also fallback to terminfo if present. Compared to the original termbox, it retains a simple API and no dependencies beyond libc, and adds stricter error checking, more efficient escape sequence parsing, opt-in support for 32-bit color, extended grapheme clusters, code gen for built-in escape sequences, a test suite, and more. termbox2 is organized as a single file header library, though it is possible to compile it as a stand-alone shared or static library.
