JScreen is a Java Swing component which provides a text screen display.
It was conceived to enable porting old DOS programs to a modern cross-platform environment, while retaining their original look and feel. But it was also designed to enable non-PC text modes, given suitable fonts and character mapping.
Getting started is this simple:
import net.digger.ui.screen.JScreen;
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JScreen screen = JScreen.createJScreenWindow();
screen.print("Hello world.");
}
}
The JScreenDemo and DisplayANSI sample programs show off some more of what JScreen can do. And, of course, the source is available to learn every nuance.
