Hope to someday contribute to terminal based game art.

Just issuing ECMA-48 directly myself, since all i need is clear screen and gotoxy.
Not getting very far on my own.

Hi clort81 and Merry Christmas!
I'm very happy for your engagement with my API. That artwork of yours look really nice!!

Termin8or currently uses the standard ASCII character set with 4-bit colors, so there quite a gap needed to be bridged to be able to do this unfortunately.

I have thought about adding support for 8-bit colors (Windows Console has support for it after Windows 10 build 14931), so that's in my mental TODO-list for now.

I have also thought about adding support for extended characters such as extended ASCII, UTF-8 or some semi-custom(?) mapping similar to that of RexPaint. I'm not sure how to do design this properly yet though.

I have still much to learn about this topic 😅, but I hope I'll be able to support ANSI files in the future and represent it well on POSIX/Win. I've had issues properly printing UTF-8 characters on Ubuntu WSL, but when I've solved this issue, I can test for Ubuntu as well.

Sincerely,
Raz.

256 colors is coming very soon. Almost finished implementation.

After that, I plan to add utf-8 support.
