Let me guess, you don't know anything about C, you've never programmed before (but this app is going to be AWESUM!!!!!) and want someone to do it for you on your state of the art version of Turbo C 1.0.
i admit i haven't programmed on c but i can say i can understand the basic parts on language even if i haven't programmed on those. and i forgot the say the its in gnu c not turbo c.
what does in ncurses does? is it sort of a gui library/package/API? i'm more into java so i'm thinking that it is similar to java's AWT and SWING library. am i right?

thanks for the response btw.
Read the introduction in the link Salem posted for you.

Right, which is why you mentioned a terminal (aka, basic character based I/O) to begin with.
If you want that kind of interface, consider wxWidgets
Note that this isn't a link, can you still manage?

I would question what, i think he may have problems installing a compiler on his pc let alone managing to write a simple hello world application, since he seem's to struggle with clicking and read.
Although he doesn't seem to have a problem with java, perhaps i missed something here!
