Description: # termpixels
        *the terminal as a character-cell matrix*
        
        ## Purpose
        Creating programs that run inside of terminals seems convoluted. The goal of termpixels is to abstract the terminal into a 2D array of "pixels", or character cells, which each contain a single text character, a foreground color, and a background color. termpixels allows you to modify the screen contents anywhere, at any time, and then handles updating the terminal automatically.
        
        ## Limitations
        There are lots of great libraries for coloring terminal output. This one is designed for full-screen applications that completely control the contents of the screen. That means that it automatically saves and clears the screen, resets the cursor position, and accepts input in cbreak mode.
        
        ## Features
        * Unix terminal feature detection with terminfo (via Python [curses][python-curses])
        * Windows support through Win32 Console API
        * Terminal (re)size detection
        * Asynchronous input
        	* Keyboard input with support for special keys like arrows, function keys, escape, etc.
        	* Mouse click and move input in terminals supporting xterm mouse
        * 16, 256, and true color output (with detection for best supported mode)
        * No reliance on ncurses except for terminfo lookup
        * 100% Python
        * and more
        
        ## Get it
        This project is on [PyPI][pypi].
        
        Alternatively, just `pip install -e .` in the root directory.
