I've put up some bindings for ncurses on google code.

Main features:  extremely thin binding, nothing extra to link, just import and go.

It's only a few files, you can download them directly from the svn browser on the project pages.

I was just looking for this about 2 weeks ago, did you read my mind? :D

Thanks!

I made binding to curses few years ago.

It is there for years... :)

this is unbefuckinglievable. an occult international plot to make d a cult language with secret libraries won't get any better than this. you are even better than the other undiscovered ramanujan over here. he rants and raves about his algorithms library. yes, it's online. yes, it has docs. yes, they are in html format. only all inside a fucking zip. a fucking zip you heard me right. but tar.bz2...... that beats him to the punch. why don't you put encryption on the archive while you're at it. shit.

Are you serious?  You have a problem downloading archives and opening them? And why should tar.bz2 be any more cryptic than zip?  In fact, it is more acceptable on unix based systems, which is basically the only place you'd be using curses from.  What would you prefer, a self installing msi package?

BTW, the archive is 19KB.  It was downloaded before I released the mouse button.

yeah, i saw that before i started writing my own.  I actually think yours is probably more complete than mine for the core curses library, while mine has support for the mouse, menu library and (almost) the form library.  also mine doesn't require an extra d-centric library to link (which is the main reason i did my own), or extra initialization calls.  then again yours has more natural access to those damn acs characters because of the extra linkage, and yours actually has some documentation.

i know i shouldn't even bother but....

googling "ncurses d" gives a whole thread about his curses binding on the first hit, it's hardly secret. and since it's a *nix centric library, and tarballs are far more common on *nix systems than zips, tar.bz2 makes a lot more sense than a zip file.

Ummm... I cannot help but wonder what is Your problem...

We could work together on this. IMHO that would be the best. If you have any ideas, requests, etc, do not hesitate to send me a mail. I am always open for constructive ideas. There are few people on IRC who are always interested in curses binding.

Personally, I would very much welcome PDCurses support, because it works on Microsoft(R) Windows(TM). Problem is, PDCurses' structures are different from ncurses... But, I still think it is doable.

Yeah, i'd definitely be down for some collaboration, i'll fire off an e-mail on the subject.
