autistdraw
==========
'autistdraw' is a terminal drawing application with multiplayer support.

Packages
--------
Regular releases are sporadic. git master should be stable enough. You can get
a package with the latest development version from Archlinux's AUR, or from
openSUSE Build Service for the rest of mainstream distributions. Consult the
list of repositories and their respective links at:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/repositories/home:pjanouch:git
Building
--------
Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, liberty (included), termo (included) +
Runtime dependencies: ncursesw, libev
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/pjanouch/autistdraw.git
$ mkdir autistdraw/build
$ cd autistdraw/build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
$ make
To install the application, you can do either the usual:
# make install
Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you. For Debian it is:
$ cpack -G DEB
# dpkg -i autistdraw-*.deb
Note that for versions of CMake before 2.8.9, you need to prefix `cpack` with
`fakeroot` or file ownership will end up wrong.
Usage
-----
For standalone mode you can run the program without arguments:
$ autistdraw
To run as a server for other clients to connect to and draw simultaneously:
$ autistdraw -s :1234
To connect to a running server, run:
$ autistdraw -c localhost:1234
Once you have the program running, simply select a colour you like from the
palette and draw by pressing and dragging the mouse. Use the middle mouse
button to move the canvas.
You can store the current image to `drawing.bin` and load it back using the
's' and 'l' keys respectively. To just export the current picture for printing
it on a terminal, press 'e'. To export for IRC, press 'E'.
Known Issues
------------
VTE-based terminals, such as gnome-terminal, are terminally broken and you will
experience drawing artefacts. Those are neither a problem of this application,
nor a problem of ncurses as far as I can tell.
To achieve the best results, please use a decent terminal such as rxvt-unicode
or xterm. These two are feature-full and *fast*. st also works great.
Even so, try not to strain the application too much. It can and will break if
you flood the communication channel with the terminal.
