+# ascii-map
+
+A high-performance, truecolor terminal-based ASCII map explorer. Rewritten in TypeScript/Node for 100x better performance!
+
+## Features
+- **100x Faster**: Truecolor (24-bit) render engine with optimized scanline polygon filling
+- **Parallel Fetching**: MVT vector tiles loaded concurrently via native Fetch API
+- **Dynamic Decoding**: Uses Mapbox Vector Tile and Protobuf directly in JS for instant parses
+- **Production Ready**: Fully compiled and ready to be used as a global NPM cli tool.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm install -g ascii-map
+```
+Or run directly using `npx`:
+```bash
+npx ascii-map
+```
+
+## Run
+
+```bash
+npm start
+# OR
+ascii-map
+```
+
+## Controls
+
+| Key | Action |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| **W/A/S/D** / **Arrows** | Pan map |
+| **+** / **-** | Zoom in / out |
+| **Q** / **Ctrl+C** | Quit |
