But since I've never seen how the HSCurses functions really integrate together, or any tutorials/examples (besides hsFishEx), I fear toying with it is going to be annoying until I figure it out on my own, especially since I'm already doing a project for someone... So, I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to point me to (or write me) a basic example of how HSCurses works, maybe w/ some very simple example of interactivity (e.g. getch processing, screen refresh, ..) support. Also, maybe warn me of some of the common pitfalls and differences in hscurses vs ncurses in other languages.
UI.HSCurses.Curses follows ncurses quite closely so you can get pretty far reading the NCurses Programming HOWTO: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/
Also, http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses-intro.html.
You might also want to look at the vty and vty-ui packages, which provide nicer, higher-level UIs for terminals. -- Jeff Wheeler Undergraduate, Electrical Engineering University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
