Hi, there.

I want to create a simple terminal game in Julia.  
I have experiences creating games in C terminal.  
But I do not know how can I do this in Julia.  
In C, I can use goto function to draw something where I want.  
But I do not know what functions or packages should I use for drawing in Terminal.  
Can anyone answer my questions?

[UnicodePlots.jl](https://github.com/Evizero/UnicodePlots.jl) may have a number of useful utilities for working with graphics in terminal.

About a month ago I was wondering about this and came up with the following, maybe helpful, links:

- terminal ui: [https://github.com/Keno/TerminalUI.jl](https://github.com/Keno/TerminalUI.jl). Pre-alpha.

- wrapper around [Termbox](https://github.com/nsf/termbox): [https://github.com/jgoldfar/Termbox.jl](https://github.com/jgoldfar/Termbox.jl). Needs BinDeps.

- (new to me but unrelated to julia) from [hn comments](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12952682):
