TermGL

TermGL is a library for displaying ASCII-graphics in a xterm compatible console (Some parts work in Windows).

List of current features:

• Automatic terminal size detection, online resizing
• Framerate target
• Simple shape-drawing functions
• Object Handling:
  • Movement
  • Collision
• Input handling with object mapping
• 3D wiremeshes (mostly useless eye-candy)

For more information on how to use, consult the documentation (make doc) and look at the example programs in example/.

Building from source

TermGL should compile just fine with just libstdc++. The Makefile is set up for clang, but gcc should also work. Required Packages:

clang
make

make builds the library to build/lib and copies all needed header files to build/inc

Run make run to build and run the example program specified by $TESTSOURCE in the Makefile. It is not compiled against the library, but just statically linked with the .o-files for easier debugging. The same example-programs can also be linked with the dynamic library by using the Makefile in example/.

To build the documentation, install doxygen and run make doc.

Installation

The makefile provides a install target, which installs headers in /usr/include/ and the binary in /usr/lib. PREFIX can be set to alter install location.

PKGBUILD scripts are provided in packaging for easy installation on Arch-based systems.
