autistdraw [1] can be run on single computer, or in client/server mode (0:03) as demonstrated in this recording with the most awesome and practical application (0:07).

You can see it as a simple networked whiteboard, and the rest is in your imagination.

Each user can select their own color and draw with left button (0:15), and move the board around with middle button (0:18). There is no other tools/shapes.

About the name, "autisdraw," which I must say I do not agree using "autist," whether it's for joking or not, that I believe it the former because the author wrote the following repository description.

"Multiplayer terminal drawing for NEET autists^Wartists"

Where "NEET" is a term originated from the UK, I don't believe it's the original meaning here. And the "^W" means erase a word (try it in Bash shell), so it is from "NEET autists" to "NEET artists."

I do believe the author has no disrespect to people who are with autism, but it's just not appropriate, and the author is not the only one. People these days try to be funny and think that would be actually humorous in everyone's ears.
