Pipes, and pumps visualisation
Hello
I am about to make a software that controls water pumps and i need to make a visualisation of pipes. for example, if there is water in pipe, if the pump is on or of, in what lelevel is water in reservoir, etc, etc.
The software should run on Linux without GUI, so it will be console application. The question is: how you suggest to do that visualisation? Is there any libraries with this kind of stuff (or something like that, thick lines, rectangles and circles would do the thing, but some rotating when on and still when off pump-like thing would be perfect)

You can use ASCII art, there are some characters designed to draw stuff

To have a cool graphical console application try the ncurses library
