A quote from Chris Lloyd

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 01:46:33 +0000

Most people's mental model of Claude Code is that "it's just a TUI" but it should really be closer to "a small game engine". For each frame our pipeline constructs a scene graph with React then: -> layout elements -> rasterize them to a 2d screen -> diff that against the previous screen -> finally use the diff to generate ANSI sequences to draw We have a ~16ms frame budget so we have roughly ~5ms to go from the React scene graph to ANSI written.

Recreating ANSI Art from a screenshot | bertrand fan

Thu, 23 Mar 2023 03:51:52 +0000

It’s not the most beautiful ANSI art, but it is something that someone made for me and I’ve always been a little bummed that I can’t look at it in one of the many ANSI viewers (or DOS emulators) that exist today. Let’s fix that!

I shared this video with different BBS enthusiasts. Since I now knew how to scroll the background continuously, and I knew how to mask frames to allow transparency, I began to wonder about parallax scrolling

Escapes.js

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 00:52:19 +0000

escapes.js is a small JavaScript library for rendering ANSI art, a form of computer art that flourished in the mid 90s. ANSI art was composed by colorizing sequences of characters and blocks drawn in the built-in system font, which made it easy to transmit across telephone wires. As a result, ANSI art was especially popular on Bulletin Board Systems (BBSes).
