==========

`autistdraw` is a terminal drawing application with multiplayer support.

Building and Running
--------------------
Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, ncursesw, libev, termo (included)::

 $ git clone https://github.com/pjanouch/autistdraw.git
 $ git submodule init
 $ git submodule update
 $ mkdir build
 $ cd build
 $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
 $ make

Now, for standalone mode you can run::

 $ ./autistdraw

To run as a server for other clients to connect to and draw simultaneously::

 $ ./autistdraw -s :1234

Finally, to connect to a running server, run::

 $ ./autistdraw -c localhost:1234

Usage
-----
Simply select a colour you like from the palette and draw by clicking and
dragging the mouse.  Use the middle mouse button to move the canvas.

Known Issues
------------
VTE-based terminals, such as gnome-terminal, are terminally broken and you will
experience drawing artefacts.  Those are neither a problem of this application,
nor a problem of ncurses as far as I can tell.

To achieve the best results, please use a decent terminal such as rxvt-unicode
or xterm.  These two are feature-full and **fast**.  st also works great.

Even so, try not to strain the application too much.  It can and will break if
you flood the communication channel with the terminal.
