Colorama Library

What is Colorama?

Colorama is a Python library that makes it easy to add color and style to text in the terminal.
Normally, you can use something called ANSI escape codes to change text color, background color, or style (like bold or underline). However, not all terminals (or Python programs) can understand these codes properly, especially on Windows.

Think of colorama as a translator or helper that makes sure your colorful text works on different operating systems, like Windows, macOS, or Linux

How do we use it? Import...

In order to use colorama, we need to import it, like we did with random or time

We must initialize it first

Method 1:

#This method means you need to remember# the reset after each print
import coloramacolorama.init( )

Method 2:

#This method automatically resets the #color and style after each print #statement
import coloramacolorama.init(autoreset=True)

There are also deinit, reinit, etc, but you don't really need those right now

Here are our colors and styles...

Here's Syntax Examples of How We Use This Library

Wait, we can move the cursor?

Colorama allows us to do some basic cursor movement as well. Check out the chart below to see the types of things you can do. Make sure to EXPERIMENT with this library and see what can be done!
