  • Mimic

    A Gameboy emulator written in Rust (by jawline)

  • https://github.com/jawline/Mimic/blob/master/src/terminal.rs code is available here, I use a Rust version of drawille to draw the framebuffer into braille and estimate colours for each braille segment. The terminal runs in raw mode on the alternate screen though I refresh at less than the full framerate to avoid terminal flashing (maybe this can be helped by better buffering, I'm not sure).

  • drawille

  • Not OP, but for the folks asking the rendering is likely some version of https://github.com/asciimoo/drawille/.
