Hello everyone, this is my first post on the forum, although I am a long-time lurker :)/>
I would like to show everyone my Menusys API. What does it do? It gives us an easy way to create interactive menus, that's what it does!
The actual code can be found here:

It depends on this other API that I created:

To install them, you need to run:
Alternatively, just download this script by doing:
Okay, but how exactly does my menusys thing get used?
What you need to do is to declare a table full of choices, and run a loop that displays the menu until the desired result is given.
For example:
What exactly happened there? Well, it called the display displayMenu function, and returns the position you were on before you pressed ENTER. Then you can decide what to do depending on the position.
A demonstration with multi-dimensional menus can be found here.
I am also working on an ImageDisplayer library.
Also available for OpenComputers.

For example:
os.loadAPI("menusys")
function A() print("Chocie 1") end
function B() print("Chocie 2") end
function C() print("Chocie 3") end
tbl = { "1", "2", "3" }
while true do
local x = menusys.displayMenu(tbl,"This is the intro of the test function","This is the outro of the test function",1)
if x == 0 then
exit()
elseif x == 1 then
A()
elseif x == 2 then
B()
elseif x == 3 then
C()
end
end
