@daylight "curses" is the name of an old, obsolete library for semi-graphical output on a text-only terminal. I believe the original Rogue game used it. "ncurses", which stands for "new curses", is a less old but now also obsolete library that did the same thing and expanded on it; the original Nethack was written using it.
