# Saiga
SIMD+GPU accelerated terminal emulator. Work in progress.
It is heavily based on [Alacritty](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty) terminal
with some ideas taken from [Ghostty](https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty).
- SIMD accelerated VTE parser which applies various
optimizations for processing UTF-8 in parallel.
- WebGPU frontend with damage tracking and partial screen updates
## Building
You will need rust stable toolchain.
Install [just](https://github.com/casey/just) command runner
Build without profile guided optimizations.
_You might want them, as they give significant performance boost_
```bash
just build
# You can then run saiga like that
./target/release/saiga
```
## Benchmarks
```bash
just bench
```
## Tests
```bash
just test
```
## TODO
- Proper input handling. Right now it's very basic and does not handle some key sequences. Mouse support is planned too (including text selection).
- Basic configuration
- Fix renderer issues, like rects overflowing each other
- Apply more optimizations
