# `Bevy Ascii Terminal`
A simple ascii terminal integrated into bevy's ecs framework.
---

---
The goal of this crate is to provide a simple, straightforward, and hopefully fast method for rendering crisp colorful ascii in bevy. It was made with "traditional roguelikes" in mind, but should serve as a simple UI tool if needed.
## Rendering
In order to render the terminal you must add the `TerminalPlugin` via your bevy `App`. You then need a camera to display it. Though not a direct dependency, this crate uses [TiledCamera](https://crates.io/crates/bevy_tiled_camera) to render it's examples.
It's recommended to use this or [some other similar camera](https://crates.io/crates/bevy_pixel_camera) for rendering, as bevy's default orthographic camera is not a good fit for how the
terminal is displayed.
## Example
```rs
use bevy::prelude::*;
use bevy_ascii_terminal::*;
use bevy_tiled_camera::*;
fn setup(mut commands: Commands) {
let size = (20, 3);
let mut term_bundle = TerminalBundle::new().with_size(size);
let terminal = &mut term_bundle.terminal;
terminal.draw_border_single();
terminal.put_string((1, 1), "Hello world!");
commands.spawn_bundle(term_bundle);
commands.spawn_bundle(TiledCameraBundle::new()
.with_tile_count(size));
}
fn main () {
App::build()
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
.add_plugin(TerminalPlugin)
.add_plugin(TiledCameraPlugin)
.insert_resource(ClearColor(Color::BLACK))
.add_startup_system(setup.system())
.run();
}
```
