This project is not part of the GNU Project.

AKFAvatar is a fancy graphical user interface for text oriented applications, where an avatar appears on the screen, and tells things to the user written in a balloon. There can also be recorded audio files, so that the user even can hear, what it is saying.

Applications for AKFAvatar can be written in Lua, an easy to learn scripting language. It has an interface for C programs. Furthermore there are bindings for Free Pascal and GNU Pascal.

AKFAvatar already comes with quite a few ready to use applications and modules. There is for example a text-viewer, a module to make question-answer exercises and there are many more things you could do with it...

For POSIX-compatible operating systems there is a manpage viewer, and there is even a terminal emulator. So you can run many existing terminal based programs in this fancy environment.

Please check out the Max and Maurice Demo!

AKFAvatar needs SDL-1.2 and Lua 5.1 to run. SDL_image is also supported.

This is mainly a bugfix release, only few changes

Bug in GNU/Linux binary packages
     posted by akf, Sat 16 Jul 2011 10:41:48 AM UTC - 0 replies

The binary packages for GNU/Linux had a bug. The module akfavatar-graphic.so was linked with an old version of libakfavatar.

The new version 0.20.0-1 corrects this.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
