This question is maybe an echo from the eighties, but I am interested to find resources so as to draw a single pixel on the terminal. If I could change the state of one pixel then it would be just math to go from pixel to lines and from lines to curves and from curves to shapes.
If I am not mistaken one of the important steps is to activate the so called video mode and not the text mode. Reading a bit about that I guess I have to access the memory buffer and modify individual chunks of memory. I cannot estimate how difficult this can be.
I know that there are libraries to let you do that on another window and of course to let you create images. Creating SVG pictures is rather trivial for example. I am interested to learn my self how to go in that level than to use a library.
I would be grateful to find resources for that and preferably in the following languages. Common Lisp > Python > C.
Feel free to ignore my question since it is driven by curiosity to hack and not from urgent need for productivity.
