Libjcsi

libjcsi, or the Java Control System Interface libarary, is a Java library made by Slash with some help from Deej. It allows Java developers to output to a console, either Curses or emulated using Swing.

Example

package net.slashie.libjcsi.examples;

import net.slashie.libjcsi.CSIColor;
import net.slashie.libjcsi.CharKey;
import net.slashie.libjcsi.ConsoleSystemInterface;
import net.slashie.libjcsi.jcurses.JCursesConsoleInterface;
import net.slashie.libjcsi.wswing.WSwingConsoleInterface;

public class SimpleRoguelike {
    //private ConsoleSystemInterface csi = new JCursesConsoleInterface();
    private ConsoleSystemInterface csi = new WSwingConsoleInterface("Simple Roguelike - libjcsi Testing Grounds");
    private int a, b;

    public static void main(String[] p) {
        new SimpleRoguelike().run();
    }
    
    public void run () {
    	csi.cls();
        csi.print(5, 5, "Welcome to TEH game!", CSIColor.BABY_BLUE);
        csi.saveBuffer();
        boolean exit = false;
        while (!exit){
        	csi.restore();
            csi.print(a, b, "@", CSIColor.ATOMIC_TANGERINE);
            csi.refresh();
            int key = csi.inkey().code;
            switch (key){
            case CharKey.UARROW:
            	b--;
            	break;
            case CharKey.DARROW:
            	b++;
            	break;
            case CharKey.LARROW:
            	a--;
            	break;
            case CharKey.RARROW:
            	a++;
            	break;
            case CharKey.Q: case CharKey.q:
            	exit = true;
            }
        }
        csi.print(1, 20, "Press space to continue");
        csi.refresh();
        csi.waitKey(CharKey.SPACE);
        System.exit(0);
    }
}
