    A text mode demo compo is a competition where people submit oldskool "demos" (ever heard of a thing called the 'demoscene'?) .. These are usually 3d rendered in software, raytracers, plasmas, cool 2d-effects .. simply doing something that looks good and make you think "how did they do that?" (like the first time someone draw something on the borders on the c64)..

    That's the library you'd want to use. Also, check out "bb", which is a very cool OPEN SOURCE text mode demo, with good music, and playable on any terminal out there.
