I see from #4 that Windows support is iffy. I'm trying it for the first time and it mostly seems to work, but Console.show_cursor tries to write an ANSI escape sequence, which obviously doesn't work, the Windows terminal just prints out those characters. I don't know the equivalent magic to show/hide the cursor on Windows, but at least it should avoid printing those bytes

That's an old issue. Windows support is pretty good now.

Much of the ANSI escape sequences are supported via Colorama, but you are correct that show_cursor should probably just do nothing on windows. I'll put that in the next update.

Please try v1.1.4

BTW the new Windows terminal handles ANSI escape sequences natively.
