Paul McGuire<a href="https://social.jvns.ca/@b0rk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@b0rk</a> Terminal emulators are much more now than just ANSI sequence interpreters, and now include mouse-event handling, enabling TUI programs with mouse support for scrolling, scrollbars, selection, etc. For those of us who thought that ANSI escape sequences for colorizing output and defining scroll regions were the ultimate terminal hack 40 years ago, these modern TUI's are amazing! Go to <a href="https://textual.textualize.io/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://textual.textualize.io/</a> to see a Python library that enables these GUI-in-the-terminal-console apps <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/textual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#textual</a>

TipaWorking on rewriting the character creation for Sword for Hire. The main adventure depends on the Curses termcap library, but there's no reason for the character creation and town map to be limited like that. This uses the Textual UI package, which tries to emulate a web page in ASCII. <a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/TunnelsAndTrolls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TunnelsAndTrolls</a> <a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/Textual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Textual</a> <a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/SwordForHire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SwordForHire</a>

Darren BurnsWhat is this? An API client for ants??With the right config you can get super compact!Compact mode is working nicely with different themes, horizontal mode, and jump mode.I also added a subtle background colour to indicate which tab has focus-within - something that I lost by hiding the tab underlines.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#python</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#programming</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#software</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unix</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/terminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#terminal</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/textual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#textual</a>

Dave PearsonAn issue with some <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/NortonGuide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NortonGuide</a> files is they use colour attributes that assume the original Norton Guide application colour scheme.
