libcucul
========
API-dependent stuff
-------------------
o brightness, contrast support for bitmaps
o allow to select the characters that will be used for bitmap
rendering, for instance halftoning (░ ▒ ▓ █) and quarter
blocks (▀ ▄ ▌ ▐ █ ▖ ▗ ▘ ▝ ▚ ▞ ▙ ▛ ▜ ▟).
o all the sprite stuff (loading, saving, blitting, transparency
support, background colour support, thinking of a storage format,
etc.)
o bitmap output support (will require one or several custom fonts),
maybe should be in libcaca.
o support for more than 16 colours, maybe truecolor, maybe less
o support for transparency (CUCUL_COLOR_TRANSPARENT)
o ASCII/ANSI art loading functions (maybe load them as sprites)
API-independent stuff
---------------------
o Fix the thin ellipse rendering (currently it's only |s and -s, we
could make them smoother by using ' ` , etc.
o support for double width glyphs (also needs some libcaca changes)
o better mask support in cucul_blit()
libcaca
=======
API-dependent stuff
-------------------
o text edit widget with cursor support (I'm unsure about this, it
seems pretty difficult)
API-independent stuff
---------------------
o Write a Linux console output
o Better keyboard driver in an X terminal, see
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/zepp/message/381
o Unicode support for X11 (maybe through Xft)
o fix Unicode support for ncurses
o Unicode support for GL
o and Jylam wants a framebuffer output
Language bindings
=================
Needed
------
o Fix Python
o Fix Perl
o C++ (given how object-oriented we now are, it will be a walk in the
park)
o C# (it's the next big thing, believe me)
o PHP (together with the HTML output it would allow for nice web
applications)
o maybe Ruby, maybe Java
Not that important
------------------
o Ruby
o Java
Kernel mode
===========
o keyboard support
o printf/fprintf are missing
o Improve malloc/free so that we can reuse freed memory
Documentation
=============
o Write a tutorial.
o Draw a nicer logo
Applications
============
cacaview
--------
o File browser
o open ANSI files
o save in different formats
cacadraw
--------
o Does not exist yet, but I want it. A modern ANSI editor that can also
do Unicode.
CUCUlet
-------
o Does not exist yet, but I want it. A replacement for FIGlet that can
also do Unicode
o Colour support, of course: outputs to IRC, ANSI, HTML...
o Open FIGlet fonts
