VTUI Library

VTUI (Vera Text User Interface) library

Can be used to create text user interfaces using VERA instead of relying on the KERNAL functions for writing to screen.

The library is less than 1KB which means it can be loaded into Golden RAM at $400. As an alternative, include files are provided for Acme and CA65 assemblers.

See https://github.com/JimmyDansbo/VTUIlib for documentation, examples and include files.

Do you plan to make a C API for this as well?

It'd be great to have #include "vtui.h" and c functions for thee routines.

It is not something I had thought about, but since you ask, I might look into it.

Would you be able to point me in a direction that explains what should be done to create a C API? I am guessing you are talking about cc65?

This might be a start.

It's what I've been looking at for doing the same, but with audio.

Seems to be straight forward (said the blind mand) ?

Thanks. I will look into it.
