Turbo Pascal CRT unit-like functions and primitive TUI utilities for Node.JS

Installation

• Requires Node.js v7.6.0 or higher (for async/await)
• Clone this repository
• npm i

Contents

• crt.js - a rough analogue of the Turbo Pascal CRT unit, has some limitations and some extensions
• utility.js - a rough analogue of my own UTILITY.PAS unit from the 1990s which provides simple TUI primitives such as box-drawing

Work in progress

• cua.js - building on the above, provides a menu system loosely based on the IBM SAA/CUA guidelines

TODO

• A damage / write-through buffer to allow restoring sections of the screen
