Create a menu on console output

[ALBERT Aurélien <aurelien.albert@...>]

Hi,

I'm new to lua and I'm looking for a way to create a "console gui".

Not a like in a game, but on a system console, as the linux command "dialog" does. (all is done in text mode on console output)

Here is a link about linux "dialog" command : http://linuxcommand.org/lc3_adv_dialog.php
And here is a screenshot : http://linuxcommand.org/images/adventure_dialog-while-menu-dialog1.png

So, is there any lua library to do that kind of stuff ?
Or is it hard to make from scratch ? (I only need to support a menu, not all features of linux "dialog" command)

Thanks !
