Rat in the Wild Challenge

6 days ago 2

We are challenging you to build the weirdest, wildest, or most unexpected app you can using Ratatui.

Whether it's running on a toaster's display, or powering a 3D multiplayer game in the terminal — if it uses Ratatui in a surprising way, we want to see it!

The goal is to improve Ratatui's API through real-world (and surreal) experiments, create new use cases and just have fun! 🧀

Example projects

Some ideas are running Ratatui on PlayStation 1 (using mipsel-sony-psx target) and on Nintendo 3DS (using armv6k-nintendo-3ds target).

Tip

Try out the newest 0.30.0-alpha.4 release that enables compilation for no-std targets and push it to the limit!

Rules

  1. The project must be open source
  2. Post a video/photos or screenshot of your Ratatui application running (e.g. demo or demo2)
  3. Include a short write-up (what you did, challenges, and how you did it)
  4. Share it with us on Discord or other social media channels
