ansi.js
Load ansi/ascii in your browser, displayed via HTML5 Canvas
A small project of mine from 2009 that has gradually turned into more modular and usable bits of code.
Usage
Load an ANSI file using any element with a data-ansi-src attribute:
<img data-ansi-src="my_ansi.ans">
Attributes
data-ansi-src: URL of the ANSI file to display
data-ansi-charset: Character encoding of the ANSI file, default is ISO-8859-1
On DOM ready, each element with a data-ansi-src attribute is replaced with a canvas element. Additional attributes (aside from width and height) are copied onto the new canvas element as well.
TODO
- Column length/newline options
- Add DOM mutation events to load ANSI on the fly
- Configurable color palettes/iCE color support
- Textmode: Support for non-9x16 characters (amiga? 80x50?)
