digitalmars.D - Introducing me and curses in D?

Hello,

Finally I decided to crawl into the land of D. I'm very happy to see
that the community is active. D seems to be far more nicer language

(Costs nothing, isn't that important :D)

And then to the question, are there a curses-like library or some
standard functions for moving the cursor and changing color etc?

Someone started a project called dcurses, but it was abandoned before making any releases. I guess you could check these links, maybe you find something you can use. http://www.dsource.org/projects/ http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?AvailableGuiLibraries

In this very newsgroup you'll find Joey Peters's year-old thread "Ported PDCurses" which has a ported header for PDCurses. You'll need to build the library separately by yourself. I used it successfully in the minimalistic roguelike "ShelobRogue", also about a year ago, under the thread "Minimalistic quick-and-dirty working roguelike in D".
