The final touch is mounting the whole thing is an old slide viewer, which magnifies the display to make it a little easier to see.Īs much as we applaud ’s tribute to ’s effort, there’s no reason to confine this to the Star Wars universe. The animation file is stored on the SPIFFS file system on the D1’s flash memory, and a few lines of code parse it and send it to the display. A 240×360 TFT LCD display was selected to show the film the scale of the display made most fonts hard to read, so used Picopixel, a font designed for legibility on small screens. After getting ’s blessing, the build started with a WEMOS D1 Mini, a good platform for the project less for its wireless capabilities and more for its 4 MB of flash memory. While this tribute to ’s amazing ASCII-art achievement might seem like a simple repackaging of the original, actually had to go to some lengths to make this work. But what we haven’t had until now is a portable player for ASCIIWars, to enjoy the film in all its character-based glory while you’re on the go. /etc/issue "2.Everyone by now has probably seen the original - and best fight us - installment of the Star Wars franchise, and likely the ASCII-art animation version of it that improves greatly on the film by eliminating all those distracting special effects, human actors, and the soundtrack.To create more ponies use util-say-git AUR and store them in ~/.local/share/ponysay/ponies and ~/.local/share/ponysay/ttyponies/ for desktop and TTY, respectively. To select a pony to display, run $ ponysay -pony x "message", where x is a pony. The syntax is the same, meaning $ ponysay message to say something and ponysay -l for a complete list of ponies. Why else would )įor full 256-colored cowsay-like art use ponysay (version 3.0 has 422 ponies). Note: The randomly selected cow is actually a toad chosen from a database with custom ASCII art $ fortune -a | fmt -80 -s | $(shuf -n 1 -e cowsay cowthink) -$(shuf -n 1 -e b d g p s t w y) -f $(shuf -n 1 -e $(cowsay -l | tail -n +2)) -n Display a random cow with a random facial expression and wrap long lines of fortune text:.( (computers) % A language that doesn't )Ĭomplex commands can be chained to produce detailed ASCII art such as this Futurama example. Random cow with fortune $ fortune -c | cowthink -f $(find /usr/share/cows -type f | shuf -n 1) The easiest way create a custom cow file is to use an existing one as a template. These files can be edited to the user's liking custom images can also be created from scratch or found on the net. cow text files located in /usr/share/cows, and all themes can be listed with the cowsay -l. emacs - Artist-mode is a built-in package in GNU Emacs that allows you to create simple drawings and diagrams using the Emacs text editor.sl - A steam locomotive runs across your terminal when you type sl as you meant to type ls.tty-clock - A digital clock in ncurses.TOIlet - Free replacement for the FIGlet utility.nyancat - Renders nyancat in your terminal.neo-matrix - Simulates the digital rain from "The Matrix".jp2a - A small utility for converting JPG and PNG images to ASCII.FIGlet - A program for making large letters out of ordinary text.cmatrix - Animation that plays in terminal based on the text from "The Matrix".catimg - Print images in a terminal with 256 colors support.cbonsai - A bonsai tree generator, written in C using ncurses.boxes - Text mode box and comment drawing filter.bash-pipes - An animated pipes terminal screensaver.Banner - Print large banners to ASCII terminals.Asciiquarium - An aquarium/sea animation in ASCII art.ascii-rain - Comfy rain for your console written in C with Ncurses.
