Running Commercial Games in the Terminal: A LÖVE2D Rust Reimplementation

This project reimplemented the LÖVE2D game framework in Rust to run Balatro—a commercial game with complex graphics and shaders—directly in the terminal. It demonstrates advanced terminal rendering techniques (Sixel graphics, Unicode octants, software rasterization) that challenge conventional boundaries between CLI tools and graphical applications, proving modern terminals are capable of real-time graphics performance.
