Usage

Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
pdcurses = { git = "https://github.com/et342/pdcurses-rs" }

or with a local checkout:

[dependencies]
pdcurses = { path = "path/to/pdcurses-rs" }

or if used for portability in conjunction with ncurses-rs:

[target.'cfg(unix)'.dependencies]
ncurses = { version = "5.99.0", features = ["wide"] }
[target.'cfg(windows)'.dependencies]
pdcurses = { git = "https://github.com/et342/pdcurses-rs", features = ["ncurses_compat"] }

main.rs

// #[cfg(unix)]
// use ncurses::*;
// #[cfg(windows)]
use pdcurses::*;

fn main() {
    initscr();

    let mut h = 0;
    let mut w = 0;
    getmaxyx(stdscr(), &mut h, &mut w);

    let text = "Some text in the middle of the screen (press any key to exit)";
    let text_len = text.len() as i32;

    mv(h/2, w/2 - text_len/2);
    addstr(text);
    refresh();

    getch();
    endwin();
}
