terminal rendering
3 videos across 3 channels
Terminal rendering sits at the intersection of art and engineering: it uses clever math and character-based graphics to map 3D shapes onto a 2D terminal, while wrestling with performance bottlenecks, buffering, and frame budgets. The videos critique hype around tooling like Claude Code and React-driven CLIs, highlight the practical limits of ASCII and ANSI rendering, and show how traditional approaches with careful buffering and low-level control often beat glossy abstractions. They also connect the dots to broader skills in graphics, scripting efficiency, and open-source tradeoffs that matter for anyone building fast, usable terminal UIs.
