Is there any API in Piston for drawing lines, simple figures and text on intermediate buffers?
I suppose it sould be solution for issues like that Vinatorul/minesweeper-rs#22

As far as I can tell there still isn't a way to do this. I'm surprised as it makes piston unsuitable for non-trivial dynamic graphics. 🙁

Drawing to that buffer is quite slow but does work for this use-case.

I also believe there is a way to read the framebuffer through OpenGL, but I haven't tried it. The framebuffer is a GL object similar to a texture.
