Show HN: ANSI art renderer in JavaScript/Canvas

escapes.js is a small JavaScript library for rendering ANSI
art, a form of computer art that flourished in the mid 90s. ANSI art was
composed by colorizing sequences of characters and blocks drawn in the
built-in system font, which made it easy to transmit across telephone
wires. As a result, ANSI art was especially popular on Bulletin Board
Systems (BBSes).

This library was designed to be simple and fun to hack on. It has no
hard dependencies, but it integrates neatly with jQuery. The source code
and documentation are available on GitHub.
