@neauoire yeah for my pvm I’m skipping any text mode and going straight to bitmapped graphics, but I can never find a simple way to display that on Linux. It always involves OpenGL or some window manager stuff and I’m from the old days where if you wanted a pixel on the screen you just used a pointer to video ram 🤣

@requiem I haven't found it to be too difficult. It just depends if you want it to be cross platform or not.

If it's your first time, I'd say go with a simple X11 pixel buffer and try to draw a rectangle in it.

You can find all the parts for this here: git.sr.ht/~rabbits/uxn11/tree/

@neauoire cooooool

Yes compatibility, dependencies, each time I’ve tried it I get hung-up on something, but I’ll take a look and give it another shot, thanks!

@requiem your linux system shouuuld come with X11, otherwise try SDL2? It's not much more complicated, here's a super barest-of-bones examples for SDL2:

Otherwise, this could be a good place to start too with sdl:
