AKFAvatar - Summary
This group 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 5.2 to run.
