• FTXUI

  39 6,065 8.3 C++

  Features: - Functional style. Inspired by [1] and React - Simple and elegant syntax (in my opinion). - Support for UTF8 and fullwidth chars (→ 测试). - No dependencies. - Cross platform. Linux/mac (main target), Windows (experimental thanks to contributors), - WebAssembly. - Keyboard & mouse navigation. Operating systems: - linux emscripten - linux gcc - linux clang - windows msvc - mac clang

As already said, you can print ANSI escape codes to change colors/effects. But there are also many high-level libraries to create TUIs, such as FTXUI and notcurses
