# NCurses
[](https://github.com/azawawi/raku-ncurses/actions)
NCurses provides a Raku native interface to the `ncurses` library for
terminal-independent screen I/O.
## Example
```raku
use NCurses;
# Initialize curses window
my $win = initscr() or die "Failed to initialize ncurses\n";
start_color;
# Initialize colors
init_pair(1, COLOR_WHITE, COLOR_RED);
init_pair(2, COLOR_WHITE, COLOR_BLUE);
# Print Hello World
color_set(1, 0);
mvaddstr( 10, 10, " Hello world " );
color_set(2, 0);
mvaddstr( LINES() - 2, 2, "Press any key to exit..." );
# Refresh (this is needed)
nc_refresh;
# Wait for a keypress
getch;
# Cleanup
LEAVE {
delwin($win) if $win;
endwin;
}
```
For more examples, please see the [examples](examples) folder.
