Colors

It's possible to use more than 16 colors, by modifying the color names saved in the CSV files to hex codes. See examples/hex-colors.csv for an example.

Multiplayer support

To host a termcanvas server, run termcanvas -host, which starts a server on port 55055 (you can change this with termcanvas -host -port XXXXX). To connect to a termcanvas server, run termcanvas -connect example.com (or termcanvas -connect example.com -port XXXXX for a custom port). The server host knows the IP addresses of whoever connects (clients can only see the server IP), and multiple clients can connect to the same server.

Controls

esc: exit termcanvas
left click: place a pixel (works with the Region tool, which draws a region)
right click: remove a pixel (works with the Region tool, which removes a region)
