We should add a new API wrapper like the one for termbox:
https://github.com/mum4k/termdash/tree/master/terminal/termbox

And document how users can choose termbox or tcell when initialising.

What is left is to solve the problem of color differences between termbox and tcell. We could approach this by adding a new color mode that will translate colors the same way termbox does. More details in the comment history of #224.

@kvnxiao, thank you for your help with #224, please let me know if you are also planning to work on the color differences, or if you would prefer I help with that.

I assume the colour differences would be a simple translation mapping between the specific colours that termbox uses. I will probably have time to update the wiki, but if it is alright with you I am hoping to ask you to help with the colour differences (I'm in my last semester of undergrad and things are ramping up for me).

I've added a new wiki page here https://github.com/mum4k/termdash/wiki/Tcell-API but it's currently unlinked and not in the sidebar as the changes have not been released yet.
