  • double buffer?

    From HopeFaithless@VERT/ECHOES to digital man on Thu Dec 11 16:13:42 2025
    hey rob,I'm always noticing that refreshes always happen piece-wise... does yout sdk implement a double-buffer? i guess that might be why the paralax demo is so smooth...

    i def think i want to write a door to take advantage of that.. a 80x50 faux pixel display may be powerful

    any thoughts on 8 and 24-bit color support in syncterm?

    What you're looking for (or similar) may be already there. SyncTerm supports displaying sixel images.

    It seems to work fine, and nobody has complained about it yet.

    It also supports displaying JPEG XL images.

    After doing some more testing, the double buffer effect i was seeing is in syncterm...
    It works as expected in plain old telnet...

    i said sdk, i meant libraries, sorry
    I still haven't looked at them thoroughly... I've been side-tracked by ansi art generation stuff! lol

    anyway, excited by everything... my neurospicy brain is having a blast
