glterminal

Oh, now, this is cool. There’s been a thread over at arstechnica asking for a full-screen terminal app for Mac OS X, and the guys at that forum unearthed the uber-geeky terminal app “GLTerminal”. GLTerminal emulates a 1970′s terminal monitor, complete with flaws in brightness, warped display curvature, and flicker. It even simulates baud rate lag. And! for extra verisimilitude, the character colors can be green or amber.
UPDATE: Kim Slawson has graciously updated the OpenGL character bitmap and Finder icon for Mac OS X 10.5.
Download his updated version here, but make sure to visit his how-to page because the instructions for getting it working have changed a bit (also, he’s got a great blog!). It would still be the Best of All Possible Worlds if original author James McCombe could be convinced to throw the source code on a server somewhere, but that’s his call.

Does anyone how to get the classic view working in OSX 10.5 / Leopard? It displays fine in normal mode, but the classic view is garbled. Probably a font translation problem?
Thanks!!

thanks a lot.
Just a quick note to let everyone know that glterminal HAS been unofficially updated for Leopard. The update fixes the garbled text issue and a few other quirks – not all – but most.
Important thing is: it works again! W00t!
