"content": "Anyone can recommend forgotten books about designing and programming text user interfaces (TUI) for consoles/terminals, also known as screen design back in the 80s?\n\n*Not* curses or using existing libraries, but more like relying directly on ANSI/VT100 control sequences. And *no*, I'm not asking for a list of escape sequences :)\n\nThe kind of material I'm thinking of is something close to the 1989 \"Programming the User Interface: Principles and Examples\" by Judith R. Brown and Steve Cunningham. But focused on TUI exclusively. The more (pseudo-)code, the better.\n\n#ansi #vt100 #terminal #tui #console\nhttps://post.lurk.org/system/media_attachments/files/114/795/990/583/356/746/original/5131229031a83c59.png\n",
