# Tektronix 4010 Emulator
This is a Tektronix 4010 terminal emulator for the Raspberry Pi.
This is a [Tektronix 4010](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tektronix_4010) terminal emulator
for the Raspberry Pi.
It attempts to emulate the storage tube display of the 4010, including the bright drawing spot.
At the moment, it only supports persistent drawing, but there are plans to emulate the 4014 with
its ability for fading objects.
