libcaca is a graphics library that outputs text instead of pixels,
|
|
so that it can work on older video cards or text terminals. It is
|
|
not unlike the famous AAlib library, with the following improvements:
|
|
|
|
* Unicode support
|
|
* 2048 available colours (some devices can only handle 16)
|
|
* dithering of colour images
|
|
* advanced text canvas operations (blitting, rotations)
