This sounds interesting to me too, but I also have trouble understanding
the code. It's clean (no comments whatsoever) C++ code it seems (I
had assumed C for some reason). I've no
experience with C++ at all, so this might be part of the problem. There
seems to be some sort of event system which might drive the different
parts, but I really don't know. Guess it would take me quite some time
to understand what's there and probably also some time to grasp ncurses
or whatever else necessary for a CLI display. But it would be
interesting.
