What is bevy_crossterm?
bevy_crossterm
is a Bevy plugin that uses crossterm as a renderer. It provides custom components and events which allow users to develop games for the terminal.
Table of Contents
Features
- Sprites and styles with colors and attributes
- Up to 24-bit color (depends on what the host terminal supports)
- Incremental drawing: Only draw on the screen when something has changed
- Transparency: Sprites can have holes so any sprites underneath will not be covered
- Position, show, and hide the cursor
- Set window title
- Plugs into Bevy's asset system so sprites and styles can be loaded from disk and also hot reloaded
