1[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/nsf/termbox-go?status.svg)](http://godoc.org/github.com/nsf/termbox-go) 2 3## Termbox 4Termbox is a library that provides a minimalistic API which allows the programmer to write text-based user interfaces. The library is crossplatform and has both terminal-based implementations on *nix operating systems and a winapi console based implementation for windows operating systems. The basic idea is an abstraction of the greatest common subset of features available on all major terminals and other terminal-like APIs in a minimalistic fashion. Small API means it is easy to implement, test, maintain and learn it, that's what makes the termbox a distinct library in its area. 5 6### Installation 7Install and update this go package with `go get -u github.com/nsf/termbox-go` 8 9### Examples 10For examples of what can be done take a look at demos in the _demos directory.
