  Yes, but that’s both fairly far down the page and not really a good example of what an actually application might look like

    The api is lower–level than that. It is very similar to ncurses which just gives you a primitive window; a rectangular subsection of the screen that can be scrolled independently of the rest. It doesn’t give you a bunch of UI widgets like buttons and checkboxes that can be conveniently shown off in screenshots. You can build a whole TUI without ever even using those windows, because in a lot of UIs the content of the windows don’t need to scroll. (And of course there’s all that stuff about colors, and notcurses adds functions for rendering bitmaps and videos into windows that ncurses doesn’t have.)

    Here's some examples of pixel art made with the framework. https://nick-black.com/dankwiki/index.php/File:Notcurses-1.0.0-chunli.png https://nick-black.com/dankwiki/index.php/File:Notcurses-1.0... https://nick-black.com/dankwiki/index.php/File:Pixel-orca.png https://nick-black.com/dankwiki/index.php/File:Pixel-orca.pn... Very impressive.

  Are those dots just like a density map/gradient? Or are they real symbols / characters?
  • torgoguys 3y ago
    Unicode braille symbols
    • wyldfire 3y ago
      Are there devices that can render those as something that blind people can feel?

        Sure, braille terminals exist. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refreshable_braille_display https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refreshable_braille_display for some examples.
