Support for ANSI 256-colors

[Jakob Hubbard]

Currently the sim chat is limited to only the basic ANSI colors

The following produces this output

Code: Select all

echo -n $'xpasswordbroadcast \x1b[31mred \x1b[38;5;208morange \x1b[33myellow\x1b[0m' > /dev/udp/127.0.0.1/19800
echo -n $'xpasswordbroadcast \x1b[38;5;208morange\x1b[0m' > /dev/udp/127.0.0.1/19800

Not sure how difficult it would be to implement but would be a nice expansion to the chat for sure

There are some other sequences that could be nice too. I really need to improve that!

Looks like modern terminals actually support all rgb color code combinations. That would be truly ideal as it would allow endless customization but if 256 colors are easier then that would be fine too.

Code: Select all

echo $'\x1b[38;2;255;0;0mtest\x1b[0m' # red
echo $'\x1b[38;2;255;255;0mtest\x1b[0m' # yellow
echo $'\x1b[38;2;255;0;255mtest\x1b[0m' # purple

Definitely nice to have the sequences work in terminals.
