moof

Interactive terminal UI application written in Python to practice nix packaging.

Controls

• arrow keys: move cursor
• Enter or Space: toggle “drawing” mode (highlight cells under cursor in chosen color)
• Numbers 1-9: select drawing color
• Backspace: clear screen
• Escape: quit program

All changes to the screen state are recorded to $XDG_DATA_HOME/moof/moof-$(datetime --iso=seconds).
This way the produced images can in principle be recreated.

Installation

Run moof without installing:

cd moof
nix-shell --run moof

To add moof to an environment, add the package in the appropriate place (buildInputs, environment.systemPackages, home.packages, etc.) by importing this repository’s directory. Example:

let
  moof = builtins.fetchGit {
    url = "https://github.com/fricklerhandwerk/moof";
    ref = "master";
  };
in
home.packages = [
  # ...
  (import moof).moof
];
