ti is a sprite-based 2d graphic renderer, using Unicode's braille codepoints and ANSI escapes to emulate
a responsive pixel screen in your terminal. ti has a purposefully simple interface, reminiscent of the behavior of old consoles.
With ti, you can draw sprites or individual pixels to the screen using various blitting modes and a simple 256-color palette. For a full set of features as well as examples, see the documentation.
Your terminal's font may not support braille characters, or you may not have fixed-width fonts that support it, or your font may not distinguish between
lit and unlit pixels sufficiently. In that case, this repository also includes the MonoBrailleCC0.otf font. The font is a variant of
Braille CC0, licensed under Creative Commons Zero v1.0 Universal. In terminals that support fallback fonts (such as
Visual Studio Code), this can be used to ensure that ti renders cleanly.
