[Question] Any implementations for playback outside of Visidata?

[bryce-carson]

For the past several days I have been working on parsing .ddw files and rendering them in Emacs.

I'm nearly there. :)

I've been curious about the use of Dark Draw 2 files and animations outside of Visidata, however. Are any known?

Hey @bryce-carson! I use it to make ssh banners, terminal menus, and little mockups and prototypes of terminal games. I don't know of other people who are using it in their programs, but if anyone is, I hope they come by and mention their project!

[bryce-carson]

Perhaps you could document those use cases? Just an idea.

I have a little project going on here: https://github.com/bryce-carson/spacemacs-devel/blob/main/spacemacs-buffer-dark-draw-banner.el.

I find it a bit difficult to use, however, because I'm not familiar with Visidata and haven't put the time in to learn it to make Dark Draw easier.

Really cool, @bryce-carson!

I'm sorry you're finding DarkDraw hard to use. It definitely takes some getting used to. If you come by my discord at saul.pw/chat, we could show you some things and help you get more familiar with it.

and yeah we should get around to properly showing off the stuff we've made with it, at least some screenshots. Someday soon hopefully :)
