Textruder
Textruder is a tool for extruding text through patterns. The patterns currently baked into this project are produced by a one-dimensional cellular automaton. Any input text may be used, either from a file or from stdin.
Build it
git clone git@github.com:arrogantrobot/textruder.git
cd textruder
cmake .
make
done!
Use it
with input from a file
./textruder -i my_text_file.txt
or from stdin
yes | ./textruder
The default width matches the terminal. This may be overridden:
yes | ./textruder -w 20
