[willow frost]

so im making a casino on a telnet server for me and my friends to play as a learning project and my friend asked me if i could make "clickable" buttons like htop has i was wondering how this is possible? ive been researching for quite a while on how to achive this however ive only ran into goncurses which from my understanding is only supported on linux is there anyway i can do this?

If a Telnet server is not required, you may consider using this method for interaction.

package main

import (
    "embed"
    "encoding/json"
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "net/http"
)

//go:embed main.html
var mainHTML embed.FS

func main() {
    mux := http.NewServeMux()
    mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        // http.ServeFile(w, r, "main.html")
        // http.FileServer(http.FS(mainHTML))
        fmt.Fprint(w, "XXX")
    })
    mux.HandleFunc("/api/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        query := r.URL.Query()
        name := query.Get("name")
        nameMap := map[string]func(para string){
            "Test": func(para string) {
                log.Println("hello world!")
                _, _ = w.Write([]byte("ok"))
            },
            "Say": func(para string) {
                var input = struct {
                    Msg string
                }{}
                if err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(para), &input); err != nil {
                    http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusBadRequest)
                    return
                }
                log.Println(input.Msg)
                _, _ = w.Write([]byte("ok!"))
            },
        }
        if apiFunc, exists := nameMap[name]; !exists {
            http.Error(w, "command not exists", http.StatusBadRequest)
        } else {
            apiFunc(query.Get("para"))
        }
    })
    server := http.Server{Addr: "127.0.0.1:8888", Handler: mux}
    if err := server.ListenAndServe(); err != nil {
        log.Println(err)
    }
}

Sorry, I must not be understanding - what does that have to do with clickable buttons?

Where XXX equal

<h1>Welcome to XXX</h1>
<textarea placeholder="input command..." cols="100" rows="5" aria-label=""></textarea><br>
<pre id="status-bar"></pre>
<script>
  const textArea = document.querySelector("textarea")
  document.onkeydown = async (e) => {
    if (e.key !== "Enter" || e.shiftKey) { // Enter+shift=new line no trigger
      return
    }
    const [name, para] = textArea.value.split("|")
    e.preventDefault()
    const params = new URLSearchParams()
    params.append('name', name)
    params.append('para', para)
    const response = await fetch('/api/?' + params.toString())
    if (!response.ok) {
      const errMsg = await response.text()
      alert(errMsg)
    }
    document.querySelector("#status-bar").innerHTML = await response.text()
  }
</script>

If I merge them together, Discord seems to have an issue, so I can only paste them separately.

Ohh, okay

I'm unfamiliar with the restrictions of a telnet server, but if it only needs to run in a terminal, it might be fine to use something like tview to create a terminal app to handle the UI: https://github.com/rivo/tview

I used it to create a terminal app that communicates remotely with a GUI program running on the same computer, and that works rather well.
