Is there anyone here doing ANSI on linux raspberrypi?

Has anyone heard of a curses/ncurses based ANSI drawing program?

I've got some art to create for my system, but my only computers with a monitor attached are raspberry pi.

It's not curses/ncurses, but I use Moebius. You would probably have to install it from source on an Rpi, though, because I'm guessing they only have x86 packages on their github. I always have to make sure to save without that extra meta garbage it wants to add, though.

Thanks Digital Man,

Using a remote ssh linux system in tmux session, -----------------------------------------------
I clonded the git:
git clone https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs.git
cd sbbs/src/syncdraw
make
cd sbbs/src/syncdraw/gcc.linux.x64.exe.debug
./syncdraw

then editor goodness. :)


-----------------------------------------------
I also found DurDraw, although I haven't worked through the install/build. https://durdraw.org/

I don't know if it uses nCurses, but [Icy_Tools](https://github.com/mkrueger/icy_tools) has a great icy_draw app that has a lot of next gen features for ansi art. It only came out recently and has a steady amount of development. Worth checking out.

Android8675,

Thanks for the reply.

I'm testing a few a couple right now.

I recently installed moebius thinking i could use a web browser instead of ncurses. Moebius has a feature to run as a server, so I would be able to use my work computer to access the canvas, but the vm I put it on seems to be out of memory so I have to make and adjustment there.

Ncurses is an interesting interface with ANSI. Different terminal emulaters show the characters and colors in a different way, and sometimes the ESC key doesn't work, so I have to use 'ctrl + [' .

But I'll keep trying different ones to see how they work.

I will take a look at Icy_Tools.

take care
bbsing
