 How can I include "ncurses" liberary in D? I'm using Ubuntu 
 and GDC!


 
 Search ncurses in Dub registray shows that there's 3 ncurses 
 D bingdings.
 
 https://code.dlang.org/search?q=ncurses


 In addition to that, I highly recommend Adam's arsd.terminal 
 as an ncurses replacement.  It's not API equivalent, but is 
 much more idiomatic D than any ncurses binding would be.

How can I use this terminal module? Is there a document for it?

They didn't mention how can I determine the cursor position like 
C functions "wherex, wherey, gotoxy".

Did you read the docs at all?  Look at the code examples where it
creates a Terminal struct.  Now go to the docs and click on "Terminal"
under the section "Structs", and you get to this page:

	http://arsd-official.dpldocs.info/arsd.terminal.Terminal.html

The first code block on this page contains a full list of all the
functions Terminal supports, including cursorX, cursorY, and moveTo,
which are what you are looking for.

(Granted, though, the main page could be expanded to include examples of
how to use these functions.. take that up with Adam. :-P)

Worth noting these are not initialized in linear mode, only in 
fullscreen/cellular. I might change that soon, it is on my todo 
list.

If you allow, I uploaded a copy of "terminal.d" to my account in 
github. The guests will think I'm professional and that I 
programmed all of that code of "terminal.d", I'm kidding, I know 
it's your effort, but I liked to make it available to others when 
they see I use it in my programs.

It works:

'''D
module temp;

import std.stdio;
import std.string;
import std.conv;
import dcollect;
import std.math;
import std.algorithm;
import std.array;
import std.functional;
import arsd.terminal;



int main(string[] args)
{

     auto terminal = Terminal(ConsoleOutputType.linear);

     int x=30,
     y=3, c=1;

     for(auto i=1; i<=10; i++){

         terminal.moveTo(x,y);
         terminal.writeln(strstring(c,"*"));
         x-=2;
         y++;
         c+=4;}

	return 0;
}

'''

But I'll need help to understand some functions like how we can 
use "readf" equivalent, I don't see it.

get a line then strip it and convert to whatever numbers you want 
etc

It is part of the arsd-official package, available on 
code.dlang.org:

https://code.dlang.org/packages/arsd-official

The documentation for the terminal module is here:
