Programming / Re: BearLibTerminal: a pseudo-terminal window library for roguelike

So I did all of that and it works now, but the 64bit dll still crashes. At least I've got functionality though, thanks man. Also the default C# console stays open even when the terminal is open, I'm assuming that's normal.

So, trying to use this in VS2012 for C# I'm getting this http://puu.sh/jh89p/d6c2d8767b.png
When I looked up what to do I found that I had to run some kind of tool, which I tried and got this http://puu.sh/jh8bD/5518b8ff84.png

Not sure what's going on, but apparently it's because this wasn't compiled with .NET?

EDIT: I also tried just adding the DLL, same error I was getting before. It can't find the DLL to actually use it so it crashes at runtime.

Programming / Re: C# Terminal libraries?

Oh, I didn't see that it had C# bindings, whoops. Seems a bit overly complex but I'll try it out later. By dividing up the screen I mean defining cells, say, (10, 10) through (50, 50) as a terminal screen then being able to pass information to it like Terminal.write("blah", 0, 0) and have it use co-ordinates local to the sub-terminal (so it would print at 10, 10). I think it might be doable with layers and I know it could be doable with some custom objects but it's always better if the library has support for that kind of thing built in.

Programming / C# Terminal libraries?

« on: July 28, 2015, 04:25:07 AM »

Hey so I just happened to stumble on this form just now and this seemed like a good place to have an account. I'm currently making a roguelike in C# and I'm wondering what kind of other terminal libraries there are available for the language. I'm currently using one called Malison which is great because of its form components and sub-terminals but it's a bit limited (character set not easily replaceable, no ability to make custom colors). I've also seen that there's some kind of curses port for C# but I've also heard that curses is a pain to work with. Generally the features I'm looking for are easily changed fonts/font sizes, ability to make custom colors for symbols if possible, and sub-terminal support so that the screen can easily be divided up. Obviously it's not critical that a library has every criteria but I'd like to know what my other choices are besides those two.
