Overview

A CLI program that takes input and renders it in an ANSI art font, and adds some colored oozz.

Requirements

This program relies heavily on VT100 / VT52 ANSI escape codes so your terminal would have to support this. The output is meant for unicode terminals, no reservations are made for older terminals. Currently only tested on Linux.

Usage

Basic usage would be simply calling oozz and the remaining input is treated as a string

oozz some text

Supported characters are: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. ! This somewhat limited at the moment, but I plan to add more.

Options

Aside from the green color used by default you can use any of the 16 colors supported by your terminal, with a combination of the color option --color black|red|green|yellow|blue|magenta|cyan|white and the --bold flag.

Another option is the ability to center text using either -C or --center This is by no means foolproof, and if the program fails to get the width of the terminal, it prints an error message and continues without centering.

Building

Requires Rust and Cargo installed on system, and is built like so:

cargo build

An optional requirement would be Recode, a charset converter tool. The artwork files comes in two flavours, *.ans and *.latin1, both filetypes are tracked in the repo but if you for some reason want to change the artwork, Recode is used for the conversion between the filetypes. Just edit something and run:

make
