    Hah I was just looking at this recently. I was looking for a C# version. I couldn't find anything nice though. There's this https://github.com/elw00d/consoleframework but it looks like it hasn't been updated in a long time.

    Yes, I'm aware. I was asking for a clarification if you meant that I should create my own framework from scratch as opposed to using an already finished one like consoleframework.
