TerminalImageViewer
- Attracting attention to terminalimageviwer, a c++ program that renders an image with block chars and optionally teletype chars! Unfortunately hasn't had any real commits since July 2021

A year of building for the terminal
As an example someone did some work to view images inside a terminal window: https://github.com/stefanhaustein/TerminalImageViewer

ANSIArt
Another C++ Library to convert images to unicode is TerminalImageViewer(tiv): https://github.com/stefanhaustein/TerminalImageViewer
The algorithm is described at the top of the README, examples are at the end.

Parsing a logfile be like
it's really simple lol, I just used tiv to convert the template into a text file, then used my experimental editor (only works on linux ofc) to add text & modify the image. Then its just hosted on a webserver

Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?
I've built a few games with my son over the years. The fun part for us was all about fast iteration, and then laughing at the bugs together.
There are some other recommendations here for how to approach 3d, and he is specifically asking for 3d -- but I want to put in one more pitch for 2d: the fun-to-tedium ratio can be much higher.
I wonder if you could spend some time prototyping some of his ideas in LÖVE https://love2d.org/ -- if you show him the smallest sketch of something working, he might have an idea about what to add next.
Many years ago, on a flight, we went from 0 to game before we landed (with no experience).

Gearing up for Lua
Probably the most important piece of software we'll be playing around with is a game engine called LÖVE. Lua is well known around developer circles as being a good scripting language when it comes to making games, and this engine is one of the more popular. I'll be going through installation at the end of this post.

Can't make my mind about which engine to use
libGDX is great, but I can understand if it's not for some people. This also applies to love2d, raylib and Monogame

How Do I Compile/Install Love 0.10.2 on Linux?
So I was stuck with my only other method: compiling from source, which I have absolutely no experience in. I'm told I have to install Git, put in "$ git clone https://github.com/love2d/love.git" into the terminal to, well, clone the repository, and that's where I hit a dead end.
You don't need to use git if you don't want to. Try downloading the 0.10.2 source directly here (the file you want is love-0.10.2-linux-src.tar.gz); I see you've tried this already but try again just to see what happens. Extract it to a directory (e.g. love-0.10.2-linux-src) and then run:

The game, Wasp Escape, was built using the open-source Löve 2D game library for Lua.

I want to make a game but I'm scared...
love2d (lua) is a productive, fun, good docs, and most importantly proven / field-tested 2d game library, with easy to learn fast to compile and fast to run language - lua. while lua might not have a lot of features as python, the big bonus is that its much more focused language, which is important because otherwise you can get easily distracted on bells and whistles that other programming languages provide, i know that from experience
