Hello,

this patch adds FXTUI[1], a simple C++ library for terminal based user
interfaces.
I decided to place this package in a separate module called "tui.scm" as
there are other libraries for building text-based user interfaces that
can be added in the future (like [2], for example.)

Also to check if the library installed right I tried to build "tiles"
game[3] that is using FXTUI:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
git clone https://github.com/tusharpm/tiles.git
cd tiles
guix shell binutils gcc
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j$(nproc)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Which worked out flawlessly.

Thanks,
- avp

Hello Artyom,

> +++ b/gnu/packages/tui.scm

I'm not sure about the new tui module because a lot of packages could
fall into that category, all ncurses based programs for instance.

> +    (arguments

Providing googletest as a native-inputs doesn't help here?

Thanks,

Mathieu

I'm not sure about the new module either, but where would you put this
package?
