Kerminal is a terminal user interface (TUI) for Kerbal Space Progam via the Telemachus mod. With it you can view (and log) data regarding your craft's status and the environment around it, as well as transmit instructions. Many advanced features are on the horizon for Kerminal.
Kerminal interacts with the websocket server that Telemachus provides to provide the interface; Kerminal thus inherits all of its features and limitations. Terminal applications possess a different range of talents than browser applications, so it will not make sense to try to make Kerminal to be a text-based clone of the browser javascript interface, but rather it will evolve a unique feature set.
In order to use Kerminal, the following are required:
- Kerbal Space Program must have the Telemachus mod installed in order to communicate with external programs (such as Kerminal).
- Python 3.4 or higher
- For windows users: as Cygwin does not support Python 3.4, install the curses unofficial binary for your system in order to use Kerminal.
- The following Python modules:
npyscreen2,autobahn,docopt
npyscreen2 may be found at: https://github.com/SavinaRoja/npyscreen2
In order to utilize the MechJeb SmartASS commands available through Telemachus you will need to also have the MechJeb mod installed. Kerminal should alert you if MechJeb is not available on your craft.
