Description

Hi,

Is it possible to send the screen over to a connected telnet client? If yes, could you please provide a minimal example. I have a simple menu -- no animations

Thanks for your time, Abhinav

Research direction
Investigate if asciimatics supports sending screen output over network (e.g., via telnet). Review existing examples in the repository for network related functionality. If no existing support, the task would involve creating an example that uses socket programming to transmit the screen buffer to a telnet client. The issue may require understanding of asciimatics' internal rendering and output handling.
