If you've ever wanted fancy graphics without having to run a display server, now is your chance!
libtermboy refines the techniques used to make Term Boy possible (hence the name). Terminal-based applications can use libtermboy to take advantage of some interesting functionality of the Linux console--check out the demo to see what it can do.
Aside from the graphics-related stuff, it also allows applications to register event handlers for key up/down events (which makes it possible to implement games that require more precise forms of user input).
It depends on several features specific to the Linux kernel's console, so it isn't terribly portable. That means you can't run applications that use libtermboy in a terminal emulator like xterm--they must be run in one of the terminals you see when you press CTRL+ALT+F<2-6>. Hopefully someone will still find something cool to do with it.
Have fun!

P.S. Despite what GitHub seems to think, this is in fact written in C.
