terminal

SYNOPSIS

durdraw [-h] [-p PLAY [PLAY ...]] [--startup | -w | -x TIMES]

DESCRIPTION

Durdraw is an ASCII, ANSI and Unicode art editor for UNIX-like
systems (Linux, macOS, etc). It runs in modern Utf-8 terminals and
supports frame-based animation, custom themes, 256 and 16 color
modes, terminal mouse input, DOS ANSI art viewing, CP437 and Unicode
mixing and conversion, HTML output, mIRC color output, and other
interesting features.

Durdraw is heavily inspired by classic ANSI editing software for MS-
DOS and Windows, such as TheDraw, Aciddraw and Pablodraw, but with a
modern Unix twist.
