Most likely. I just checked and it uses embedded-graphics already which means you can plug in Mousefood directly. The touchscreen might be a bit tricky though, it might need some hacking on the event handler side. But it will most likely work if you map the coordinates to the terminal cells abstraction somehow.
absolutely, it will work with any other embedded Rust application. The backend only provides a bridge between the embedded-graphics library and the Ratatui widget renderer.
I swear this isn’t an “rtfm” dig, but in the case that this report of flickering is the first you’ve been made aware of it (and so you haven’t dug into it yet) I recently had to deal with this when experimenting with WebGL for the first time and found this thread to be full of information. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19764018/controlling-fps...
A few of the suggestions “work”, but in the end I went with the accepted answer, only modified to use window.performance.now() rather than Date.now() from the accepted answer.
There are more suggestions that make sense but I haven’t tried that include using multiple threads, calling setInterval/setTimeout in a separate thread for CPU work from the rAF() call (which is GPU and should not update if there is nothing to update) but this wasn’t immediately helpful to me so I went with the elapsed time test and explicit frameRate. There are some potential sync issues over time but they are discussed in the SO thread and additionally on the mozilla developer site, where they also discuss syncing to an audio clock at 60 Hz.
OP here, thanks for posting the project. The FOSDEM talk will be also available soon I hope.
I'm planning to focus more on responsiveness and adding more web-only widgets for the next releases. Of course there are a lot of other things to fix & improve :)
Let me know if you have any specific feedback or ideas!
