Ratty is a GPU-rendered terminal emulator that experiments with inline 3D graphics inside the terminal experience. It supports both traditional 2D terminal use and a 3D mode that reveals a warped terminal surface. The project includes inline 3D object support through its own Ratty Graphics Protocol, allowing objects to be registered, positioned, animated, scaled, and displayed in terminal space. It also supports GPU-backed text rendering and image display through terminal graphics protocols. ratty is written in Rust and uses graphics-oriented components to render the terminal in a more visual and playful way. Its main purpose is to explore what a terminal can become when it is treated as a graphical environment, not just a text grid.
