About
Durdraw is an ASCII, Unicode and ANSI art editor for UNIX-like systems (Linux, macOS, etc). It runs in modern Utf-8 terminals and supports high speed frame animation, 256 and 16 color modes, mouse drawing and paint brushes, MS-DOS ANSI art, CP437 and Unicode mixing and conversion, HTML and mIRC color output, custom themes, and many 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.
Durdraw also includes Durfetch, an animated system information tool, and Durview, an ANSI art pack viewer with 16colo.rs integration.
