AAHelper, Library for ASCII Games/Apps Released

Posted by michael on from the a-to-z dept.

Ravalox writes "AA Helper Library, which is a set of libraries to assist in the development of AA-Lib games/applications, has made its initial release. It currently provides a few graphics primitives and a render-to-frame function so you can get a normal image out of AA-Lib. If like me you are an ascii video fan another helpful ascii library is libcaca which is currently supported in Video Lan Media Player and Mplayer."

  2. TheDraw by ptaff · · Score: 4, Informative

    For those who created real ASCII art back in the days of the BBS, there exists a GPL clone of TheDraw to bring back memories (and maybe dust your 5.25" floppies) called DuhDraw. Those were the good old times, as anybody remembering ANSI music will tell.

    Feel ready to own one or many Tux Stickers?
