I've installed lcurses (luarocks + luajit) but I'm not able to find any tutorial.
I'm reading about ncurses with C language trying to replicate code on lua
but the lua porting is not a C library direct match.
Here are the two "Hello World" example:
lua version
package.path = package.path .. ';/opt/luarocks_pkg/share/lua/5.1/?.lua';
package.cpath = package.cpath.. ';/opt/luarocks_pkg/lib/lua/5.1/?.so';
local curses = require('curses');
local os = require('os');
local function main()
--start curses mode
curses.initscr()
--disable line buffering
curses.raw();
--switch off echoing
curses.echo(false);
--initialize standard screen object
local stdscr = curses.stdscr()
--clear screen
stdscr:clear();
--move cursor at (10,10) and print, here only update the stdscr structure
stdscr:mvaddstr(10,10,'Hello World');
--force curses system to dump the contents on the screen
stdscr:refresh();
--wait for keyb input
stdscr:getch();
--frees the memory taken by curses sub-system and its data structures and puts the terminal in normal mode
curses.endwin();
return(0);
end
main()
C version
#include <ncurses.h>
int main()
{
initscr(); /* Start curses mode */
printw("Hello World !!!"); /* Print Hello World */
refresh(); /* Print it on to the real screen */
getch(); /* Wait for user input */
endwin(); /* End curses mode */
return 0;
}
Replicating C code in lua require a lot of time (to learn how to use lcurses), so I'll appreciate if someone can help me by reporting where I can find a lcurses lua tutorial.

Answer 1

Try lcurses documentation. It indicates that the API is the same so you should be able to get the details from your system's curses or ncurses man doc. If you can't do "man ncurses" or "man curses" (as documented on that link), then you can surely find some online versions:
Same as above, but hyperlinked to actual function docs
Introduction to ncurses
Ncurses howto
ncurses faq
Programmers Guide to ncurses
The intro to ncurses and the howto should provide what you need. Beyond that tou will have to purchase the book. Beyond that you are out of luck, so either way this answer should be closed.
