Re: Colored text?

BTW, here is a simple ANSI terminal module that you may find useful.

term={
	output=io.write,
	clear = function () term.output("\027[2J") end,
	cleareol = function () term.output("\027[K") end,
	goto = function (l,c) term.output("\027[",l,";",c,"H") end,
	goup = function (n) term.output("\027[",n or 1,";","A") end,
	godown = function (n) term.output("\027[",n or 1,";","B") end,
	goright = function (n) term.output("\027[",n or 1,";","C") end,
	goleft = function (n) term.output("\027[",n or 1,";","D") end,
	color = function (f,b) term.output("\027[",f,";",b,"m") end,
	save = function () term.output("\027[s") end,
	restore = function () term.output("\027[u") end,
}

--term.clear()
term.goto(10,1)
term.cleareol()
term.goto(10,10)
term.output("hello!")
term.color(31,42)
term.output("bye!")
term.color(43,31)
term.output("tchau mesmo!")
term.color(0,0)
term.output("ok!")
term.goup(4)
term.goleft(8)
term.output("here")
term.save()
term.goto(2,3)
term.output("HERE")
term.restore()
term.output("DONE")
