The Cassowary Linear Arithmetic Constraint Solving Algorithm [pdf]
We use a cassowary based constraint solver within Ratatui [1]. It's kind of neat once you understand the algorithm and add your own UI rules system on top of it. Unfortunately the library[2] that we use for the actual solving is unmaintained for many years now. I've been meaning to rewrite[3] a bunch of things in the lib to be more ergonomic, but it hasn't bubbled to the top of my todo list yet.

Ratzilla
I think this may lack a bit of context, so I'll try to fill in.
This is a demo that was just showcased live by the author as part of their talk at FOSDEM'25: https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5496-brin...
The talk was centered on Ratatui (a TUI library in Rust, https://ratatui.rs/) now targeting terminals and web browsers with a shared approach. Video recording of the talk should appear online soon.

Show HN: Rebels in the sky – Terminal game about space pirates
Proudly built with Ratatui: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui :)
The graphics themselves are basically handmade pixel-by-pixel, you can take a look in the assets folders to get an idea.
For example, pirate images are generated by combining the different parts and then applying a color mapping for the different skin tones.
Planet gifs are adapted starting from https://deep-fold.itch.io/pixel-planet-generator

The Modern CLI Renaissance
Excellent article of what is going on in the terminal space, agree on the TUI section where we are seeing lots of terminal tools being built in Rust and Go and libraries such as Ratatui [1] and Bubble Tea [2] becoming a new modern alternative to ncurses for building TUIs.
Python has Textualize which is also very popular for building terminal user interfaces [3]
And we've noticed this renaissance as well of new CLI and TUI tools that we list on Terminal Trove [4].

The Tao of Unicode Sparklines
I recently had to look at the implementation of the Sparkline [1] widget in Ratatui which uses a similar Unicode technique but scales nicely for sparklines with larger vertical size.
