Project Description

AKFAvatar is a fancy graphical user interface for text oriented applications where an avatar appears on the screen and provides information in a balloon. It also supports recorded audio files. Applications for AKFAvatar can be written in Lua, and there are interfaces for C and Free Pascal.

A number of ready-to-use applications and modules are provided, including a text viewer and a module that makes question-answer exercises. For POSIX-compatible operating systems there is a man page viewer and a terminal emulator, which makes it possible to run many existing terminal-based programs in this fancy environment.

There are new Lua-modules for UTF8-strings, the terminal emulation is now a Lua module, and there is a module to load Ogg Vorbis audio-files and a module to draw graphics. Notable new Lua-applications are a function-plotter, a clock, and an audio player.
