Title: DRAWILLE, a python library to paint in console
Post by: Eben on July 27, 2014, 07:44:59 PM

Found this today: https://github.com/asciimoo/drawille (https://github.com/asciimoo/drawille)

It uses braille unicode to simulate drawing. Could be useful to peeps in a ASCII universe who want some drawings anyway.

This is neat. I think, it is good for drawing things like laser beams or maybe other temporary effects in otherwise ASCII games.

And if you write your roguelike to use ANSI escape sequences on an Amiga, you can do this sort of thing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm7BpKiha78).  If I recall correctly, there were special ansi sequences that could move the cursor a pixel in any direction, and the visual effect was created by drawing letters/characters and then drawing over them partially with the next one.
