  • ansi art software linux raspberrypi

    From bbsing@VERT/LUNAROUT to All on Tue Apr 8 20:54:12 2025
    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

    Yeah, but they were foiled again. :)
