How can I use this terminal module? Is there a document for it?

It is part of the arsd-official package, available on code.dlang.org:

https://code.dlang.org/packages/arsd-official

The documentation for the terminal module is here:

They didn't mention how can I determine the cursor position like C functions "wherex, wherey, gotoxy".

Did you read the docs at all?  Look at the code examples where it creates a Terminal struct.  Now go to the docs and click on "Terminal" under the section "Structs", and you get to this page:

	http://arsd-official.dpldocs.info/arsd.terminal.Terminal.html

The first code block on this page contains a full list of all the functions Terminal supports, including cursorX, cursorY, and moveTo, which are what you are looking for.

(Granted, though, the main page could be expanded to include examples of how to use these functions.. take that up with Adam. :-P)

Worth noting these are not initialized in linear mode, only in fullscreen/cellular. I might change that soon, it is on my todo list.

Email me a patch.

It works:

'''D
module temp;

import std.stdio;
import std.string;
import std.conv;
import dcollect;
import std.math;
import std.algorithm;
import std.array;
import std.functional;
import arsd.terminal;



int main(string[] args)
{

    auto terminal = Terminal(ConsoleOutputType.linear);

    int x=30,
    y=3, c=1;

    for(auto i=1; i<=10; i++){

        terminal.moveTo(x,y);
        terminal.writeln(strstring(c,"*"));
        x-=2;
        y++;
        c+=4;}

	return 0;
}

'''

But I'll need help to understand some functions like how we can use "readf" equivalent, I don't see it.

If you allow, I uploaded a copy of "terminal.d" to my account in github. The guests will think I'm professional and that I programmed all of that code of "terminal.d", I'm kidding, I know it's your effort, but I liked to make it available to others when they see I use it in my programs.

get a line then strip it and convert to whatever numbers you want etc
