#2Wow, this is a throwback. I'm suddenly sat in front of my Amstrad PC as an early teenager poking around DOS tools I don't understand.

#3Hah I was just looking at this recently. I was looking for a C# version. I couldn't find anything nice though. There's this https://github.com/elw00d/consoleframework but it looks like it hasn't been updated in a long time.

Have you tried Miguel de Icaza's gui.cs?

My throwback is reading through sheets and sheets of continuous form paper printed with the Turbo Vision demos and being utterly unable the wrap my head around the object oriented code. Still I learned a lot by annotating that source code.

#6I bought a mouse specifically for this. It was a Genius and came with a holder which you could stick to the side of your monitor or to a wall.
So you could store your mouse when not in use. I am not making this up.

Mouse holders are still manufactured, believe it or not.

#8I am confident that Turbo Vision can now meet many of the expectations of modern users and programmers.
Probably needs help with porting to node.js though: https://github.com/magiblot/tvision/issues/27#issuecomment-8...

C#? Tick.
Console? Tick.

#10Turbo Vision is odd. It's a backport of a graphical UI (Windows 3.0) to text mode. It was exceptionally well done in both end user and developer ease of use and caught on.
But I doubt it's the optimum for a text based UI, at least for most applications. Keep evolving!
