No modifications to game code. --- --- What is this? A Rust reimplementation of the LOVE2D game engine that renders entirely in a terminal. It runs unmodified Balatro Lua code — the game thinks it's talking to a real LOVE2D runtime, but all graphics go through a software pixel buffer and are displayed via the Sixel graphics protocol (true pixels), Unicode octant characters (2×4 sub-pixels per cell), or half-block characters. The result: a fully playable Balatro in your terminal. Quick Start Prerequisites - Rust 1.75+ with a C compiler (for vendored Lua 5.1) - A copy of Balatro ( Balatro.exe ) - A modern terminal with 24-bit color support (Windows Terminal 1.22+, WezTerm, iTerm2, kitty, Alacritty) Build Windows tip: If your project is on OneDrive, use a separate build directory to avoid sync lag: Run Linux / macOS / Git Bash: Windows PowerShell: Sixel mode is used by default. Set TUI RENDER=octant or TUI RENDER=halfblock to switch (see Configuration).
