Ratatui on Nintendo Switch

Standing on the shoulders of giants, I was able to cobble together examples of Ratatui running on the Nintendo Switch.

It relies on Mousefood and nx (though I've had to fork and update the embedded-graphics-core version).

Run it yourself

You have to have a modded Nintendo Switch, with the ability to run .nro:s (homebrew apps).

Then use cargo-nx to build and upload the code to your Switch:

1. Build (you MUST do a release build. debug is simply too unoptimized):

   cargo nx build --release --package <EXAMPLE NAME>

2. Start some form of nxlink receiver on the Nintendo Switch. My homebrew menu of choice Sphaira already has one running in the background.

3. Upload (Switch must be in same local network):

   cargo nx link <LOCATION OF BUILT .nro>

Instead of steps 2-3, you could also manually copy the .nro to the correct location in the SD card.
