TTY::Live

This is a wrapper for TTY::Cursor to help you refresh console.

bundle add tty-live

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

gem install tty-live

require 'tty-live'

live = TTY::Live.new

10.times do
  sky = 10.times.map{100.times.map{rand(100) >= 99 ? '*' : ' '}.join}.join("\n")
  live.update(sky)
  sleep 1
end

puts

And you can access TTY::Cursor's methods through TTY::Live instance:

# same as `print TTY::Cursor.up(5) + TTY::Cursor.forward(2)`
print live.up(5) + live.forward(2)

Follow your heart.
