PETSCII! Check this out

Though for animation I am not sure of PETSCII codes to do that. I had an Apple][ back in those days, and we used things like ProTERM Special emulation vs. VT100 or whatever the C64 folks had.

This one might have animation but it's been a while since I checked it out.

I used some ANSI or similarly capable terminal program, where you could turn on buffering and "record" your cursor movements and special control keys to draw CBMSCII characters. Playing it back would render everything, so you could do crude animations on BBSes, which at 300 or max 1200 baud, were pretty rudimentary!
