Awesome! I remember when I first started programming, we started off with command line applications. Immediately I wanted to make a game in the terminal. I never did, now I can finally learn Go and make a terminal game.


This is really awesome. I wonder if I can use this to make non-game terminal applications.


You absolutely can. That said, if your application is to look quite static and you don't really need the game-style render-loop, you could use Termbox directly (it's great):

I continue to be amazed at all of the neat projects being built with Go these days
