TurboVision for PHP
===================

[](#turbovision-for-php)

**Build rich, mouse-friendly terminal applications with the soul of Borland's Turbo Vision and the ergonomics of modern PHP.**

TurboVision for PHP is a pure-PHP text-mode UI framework with a real view tree, double-buffered ANSI rendering, keyboard and mouse events, movable windows, menus, scrolling, responsive layouts, and a headless renderer for tests and screenshots.
