I know a challenge: TheDRAW

[grymmjack]

I know a challenge: reprogramming TheDRAW in QB64. But many items can be extracted like the BBS animation.
Other things can be included, such as choice between blinking or 16 background colors, saving to DATA statements, better support for 80x25, 80x43, 80x50 or more etc.
Unfortunately I'm not the best programmer to program something like this myself.
Not sure if anyone already has or uses such a program? Currently I am using TheDRAW from a DOSBOX.

Love TheDRAW.

These days I'm using Moebius for textmode artwork, but TheDRAW is still the only program that supports "ANSImation"

Did you know that TheDRAW has a BSAV format and can be used in Basic? Read the thingy, but it needs a QB quick library or something to work

I'd love it if TheDRAW existed in QB64 form of some kind! I wrote an ANSI parser from scratch for my library, it might be helpful or interesting (if a little spammy: https://github.com/grymmjack/QB64_GJ_LIB/tree/main/ANSI)

Check out PabloDraw and Moebius (no animation but both are great!)
