I had no idea you could drive 60fps animations in the terminal. How’s that even possible? I only had limited experience with curses ages ago. Is he just spewing control characters crazy fast and the terminal is keeping up fine?

Anyway, this guy is a genius and I hope the funding goes well. His other projects look amazing as well.

If I were a betting man, I’d wager the browser is the minimum common denominator, not the terminal. But I’d like to live in such a world.




Hardware accelerated terminals have been around for a while.


I thought it was scrolling that’s was hardware accelerated.

How do you hardware accelerate control characters?
