So may I take the chance to remind you, that I still offer GPC and FPC bindings for my project AKFAvatar.
AKFAvatar is a graphical frontend for programs. An avatar appears on the screen and tells things written in a balloon. Writing programs for AKFAvatar is as easy as writing for the command line, but it looks much better.
Looks like it could be useful. Any screen shots to see what it actually looks like in real usage?
Only the one on the homepage... (click to enlarge)
Okay, I just said that it looks much better than a text-console, I did not say that it looks great. I know that I'm not a good graphic designer.
There are some other Avatar-images in the package and you can use your own one...
There are also many features, that you could not see in a screenshot anyway. For example you can activate a slowprint mode, in which the text is displayed letter by letter. The Avatar can move in or out. You can show images or play sounds. You can make menus or ask yes/no questions (both usable with the mouse). There is a pager, with which you can scroll through long texts, like "less", but you can also use the mouse-wheel...
Gee, I even implemented a full blown terminal emulation, in which you can simply run existing programs; and not only line-oriented ones but also ncurses based programs.... But that is only available for POSIX systems. (Tested on GNU/Linux and FreeBSD.)
