This is a fortune display project that was built during the Tokyo Rust workshop.
The program reads the provided fortunes file at build time and generates a Rust source file with all the quotes in a massive array.
During the run-time, a random quote is loaded when a button is pressed.
I used my own ESP32 board, so I ported the template beforehand.
The fortune file comes from https://nullprogram.com/blog/2016/12/01/
Ratatui is a Rust library for building fast and modern terminal UIs, now capable to run even on your toaster!
In this talk, Orhun Parmaksiz (open source developer and maintainer of Ratatui) will take us on a whirlwind tour of what Ratatui is capable of, from system tools and games to musical instruments. After that, we will jump into a hands-on workshop where we will build a TUI application from scratch and use Ratatui's newly added no_std support to run it on a tiny display that fits in your pocket! (ESP32 T-Display)
We will also host a fun mini-competition where the top 3 workshop projects, as voted by participants, will get to keep the device.
Join us for a session packed with awesome terminal UIs and hands-on hacking with embedded Rust!
The workshop is meant to be completed in 2 hours.
First 30 minutes will be a presentation about Ratatui and embedded Rust, followed by a 90-minute hands-on workshop.
If you don't have everything set up, I'm afraid we won't have enough time to do hacking during the workshop.
So please make sure to complete the steps in PREPARATION.md before the workshop!
There is a template project in the template/ folder that you can use as a starting point.
Each file is well documented to help you understand what is going on.
Join the Ratatui Discord and share your creations with the other terminal chefs!
If you have any questions or need help, feel free to ask there as well!
