Question: Ability to return ANSI instead of PETSCII #41

Closed ssshake closed 2 years ago

ssshake commented 4 years ago

I would like to open up the BBS I built upon your framework to the PC world, which means it needs to support ANSI instead of PETSCII (or that is my understanding).

Can you help me with this? Could you tell me what needs to be done to support this?

Is it just a matter of swapping a character map and color palette?

Hi. It's not so simple: all graphics you did are PETSCII-only. I have in plans to extend the possibility of ANSI BBS, I've just to have time to do it :)

What if I dropped all of the graphics for now and just wanted to print my strings in ansi? And accept input in ansi.

Hi @ssshake .... Now there is the class "AsciiThread" (use this instead of PetsciiThread) to output in pure ASCII :)
