Pixel Purrito<p>It was fun making some <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ANSI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ANSI</span></a> art yesterday, so I figured... why not chill a bit this evening doing the same thing? Not knowing well what to do, I decided to make a starry sky screen about Polar Star, the one game I probably played the most as a kid with my father's old Sony HB-75 <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MSX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MSX</span></a> computer. This one was made with Durdraw on Linux, with a terminal configured to use the Topaz-Unicode font; then converted with ANSILove to PNG using the Pot-Noodle font.</p><p>- Polar Star: <a href="https://www.generation-msx.nl/software/hyo-kin-soft/polar-star/release/317/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">generation-msx.nl/software/hyo</span><span class="invisible">-kin-soft/polar-star/release/317/</span></a><br>- Durdraw: <a href="https://durdraw.org" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">durdraw.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br>- Topaz Unicode font: <a href="https://gitlab.com/Screwtapello/topaz-unicode" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">gitlab.com/Screwtapello/topaz-</span><span class="invisible">unicode</span></a><br>- ANSILove: <a href="https://www.ansilove.org" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">ansilove.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

ultrageranium<p>Anyone can recommend forgotten books about designing and programming text user interfaces (TUI) for consoles/terminals, also known as screen design back in the 80s?</p><p>*Not* curses or using existing libraries, but more like relying directly on ANSI/VT100 control sequences. And *no*, I'm not asking for a list of escape sequences :)</p><p>The kind of material I'm thinking of is something close to the 1989 "Programming the User Interface: Principles and Examples" by Judith R. Brown and Steve Cunningham. But focused on TUI exclusively.
