teletext

This is a hobby project I worked on as I saw that Unicode added teletext drawing characters to their character set. I knew the Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE) had a public-facing teletext API, and had previously wanted to work on this project, but braille and box building characters present in Unicode at the time were not sufficient to draw most of the pages.

The program is woefully incomplete, as it does not currently fetch data real-time, but rather is only the drawing logic.

I ran into issues with terminal features regarding double height/width text, and blinks, which made me want to rewrite the project as a fully-fledged GUI.

Here are a few screenshots demonstrating what it looks like: The viikkomakasiini-page, telling about the Museum of Teletext Art The viikkomakasiini-page, demonstrating multiple different drawing features Old teletext art submitted to the Museum of Teletext Art, demonstrating drawing capabilities
