Ratty is a GPU-rendered terminal emulator written in Rust and built with Ratatui.
Inspired by TempleOS, it pairs a traditional terminal with an inline 3D graphics mode, complete with a customizable spinning rat cursor.
It runs in both a classic 2D mode and a 3D mode (toggled with Ctrl+Alt+Enter), renders interactive 3D objects inline via its own Ratty Graphics Protocol (RGP), and supports images through the Kitty Graphics Protocol.
