  • Cellular Automata Telnet server?

    From Dingo@911:1919/0 to All on Thu Feb 5 13:58:32 2026
    In the next release of telnetlib3, which includes CLI telnetlib3-server
    and telnetlib3-client, I have added for the server new arguments,
    --robot-check --force-binary --pty-raw and have demonstrated it at the following server:

    telnet 1984.ws 666

    Or, if you're not using a modern unicode-capable terminal, you can see
    the output and find source code here,

    This is something i've had on my mind for years, I read Stephen
    Wolfram's "A New Kind of Science" as a teenager and it had an affect on
    me. Anyway the unicode blocks are "very detailed" through a nice trick
    of using the 64 "sextants" of Unicode blocks,

    https://unicodeplus.com/block/1FB00

    which gives 3x the vertical and and horizontal detail. Of course, we
    can't color each individual block (yet), but in any case the effect is
    nice. Hope this inspires someone! The code is a bit shit but the
    scrolling effect is a nice and high framerate.
