Coding

Print text on center of console

import ezztui
ezztui.center_message("Hello World!") # prints "Hello World!" on the center of the console
ezztui.center_multiline(["Hello", "multiline", "world!"]) # prints "Hello" on the center of the console, then "multiline" on the next line, then "world!" on the next line

Clear console

import ezztui
ezztui.cls() # clears the console with a os.system command
ezztui.softcls() # clears the console with a multiple newline

            'Function 3': 'ezztui_return_value',
            'Function 4': 'ezztui_return_value',
            'Function 5': 'ezztui_return_value',
            'Back': 'ezztui_back_value'},
         'Submenu 2': {
            'Function 1': 'ezztui_return_value',
            'Function 2': 'ezztui_return_value',
            'Function 3': 'ezztui_return_value',
            'Function 4': 'ezztui_return_value',
            'Back': 'ezztui_back_value'},
         'Submenu 3': {
            'Function 1': 'ezztui_return_value',
            'Function 2': 'ezztui_return_value',
            'Function 3': 'ezztui_return_value',
            'Back': 'ezztui_back_value'},
         'Submenu 4': {
            'Function 1': 'ezztui_return_value',
            'Function 2': 'ezztui_return_value',
            'Back': 'ezztui_back_value'},
         'Back': 'ezztui_back_value'},

    'No submenu function': 'ezztui_return_value',

    'Third menu':
        {'Function 1': 'ezztui_return_value',
         'Function 2': 'ezztui_return_value',
         'Function 3': 'ezztui_return_value',
         'Function 4': 'ezztui_return_value',
         'Back': 'ezztui_back_value'},

    'Exit':
        {"Exit": 'ezztui_exit_value',
