libchafa API demo: view X11 window in terminal

[clort81]

I felt like playing some games and watching movie in terminal so I made a program to watch any x11 window (by ID) in current terminal.

It's been working for me and it'd be nice if someone else might enjoy it. I watched half of Barton Fink in 160x50 xterm with block-braille rendering. .. surreal

x11_to_chafa.c

gcc -Os -o x11_to_chafa x11_to_chafa.c -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/include/chafa -I/usr/local/lib/chafa/include -L/usr/local/lib -I./stb -lchafa -lX11 -lXext -lXcomposite -lm -lglib-2.0 -lz

YMMV: if your font has dot-braille (like most do) ⢰ ⢱ ⢲ ⢳ ⢴ ⢵ ⢶ ⢷ ⢸ ⢹ ⢺ ⢻ ⢼  it will look not-so-good.
SOLUTION: link your font here and if it's a bitmap font i'll fix it to have block-braille characters.

TODO(?)

• Pass through terminal keypresses (or X11 keyboard events) to target X11 program.
• Bridge to ssh/telnet daemon (or make it user's login program)
• Map ssh keyboard input to game controller 2
