Class Prompt

Namespace

Retro.Crt

Assembly

Retro.Crt.dll

Tiny interactive prompts: yes/no Confirm, free-text Ask, arrow-key Select. All zero-dependency, AOT-clean. Without ANSI, Select degrades to a numbered list with ReadLine().

Parameters

question string

defaultValue string

color Color?

Returns

Confirm(string, bool, Color?)

Yes/no question. Reads a single keystroke (no Enter required). Pressing Enter accepts defaultYes; any key other than y/Y/n/N is ignored.

Parameters

Select(string, string[], int, Color?)

initialIndex int

color Color?
