[Feature Request] Pipe Color mode? #114

Open jdredd87 opened 1 month ago

jdredd87 commented 1 month ago

Odd request...

I still use console mode in a lot of current programs in the industry i am in.

I actually use code I wrote in the 90s as a kid for doing PIPE writes of sorts.

|00 - |15 and |B0 - |B7 for foreground/background colors.

Code handles turning those into the proper colors. No Ansi needed type deal. At least when it comes to colors.

Could there ever be a way, to save to a file/load from a file, where no ansi is used and only pipe colors and spaces/tabs I guess for the blank space? ( ala, no ansi codes to move X chars around )

I know , silly, but would be neat to me as I could drop in pipe driven graphics real quick without worry of ansi parsing currently.

Do you have any example files? I might hack this into Durdraw if it's useful. I wouldn't mind seeing any examples or example code. Is this something some BBS software might support?

Thanks!
