Not much to show yet. But here's what I think is interesting: this is an early prototype of Subterminal, with a tiny little demo that uses the Subterminal api to simulate a character display, using BDF fonts, and GL acceleration via Raylib. The little demo app is called Goodnight Commander. Subterminal is still unable to parse escape characters properly so you still can't run real terminal apps on it, but that's something I've been working on. The first part was about implementing the BDF and Sixel part, so that a CLI / TUI can upload glyphs, fonts, and sprites to the terminal. When this is all done, you should be able to develop rich TUI apps, even little games by sending the right escape codes to Subterminal, from any language.
