haskell-ncurses: GNU ncurses bindings for Haskell

GNU ncurses is a library for creating command-line application with pseudo-graphical interfaces. This package is a nice, modern binding to GNU ncurses.

Example

The following example is a program that displays the message "Hello world!" until the user hits Q:

import UI.NCurses
main :: IO ()
main = runCurses $ do
	setEcho False
	w <- defaultWindow
	updateWindow w $ do
		moveCursor 1 10
		drawString "Hello world!"
		moveCursor 3 10
		drawString "(press q to quit)"
		moveCursor 0 0
	render
	waitFor w (\ev -> ev == EventCharacter 'q' || ev == EventCharacter 'Q')

waitFor :: Window -> (Event -> Bool) -> Curses ()
waitFor w p = loop where
	loop = do
		ev <- getEvent w Nothing
		case ev of
			Nothing -> loop
			Just ev' -> if p ev' then return () else loop
