Description

AA-lib is a low-level graphics library similar to many other libraries except for the fact that AA-lib does not require a graphics device! In fact, no "graphical" output is possible. AA-lib uses a modern, high-tech ascii-art renderer in place of outmoded and cumbersome graphical output. The AA-lib API is designed to be similar to that of other graphics libraries so learning its API should be simple.
