Implement a textual variant
Closed this issue · 3 comments
I'm not sure whether to go for the VT220 look with ASCII art or ANSI art with colors (16 colors or 256 colors?), but it would be cool to do something more meaningful in a terminal than not displaying anything. Let's hope I won't reinvent ncurses along the way...

ascii_nyan also plays the nyan music:
./nyan.sh -me
Hm, now that I've written some code to rasterize a grid to text, I've noticed that I can hardly make it 70x70, let alone 140x70 (for a better aspect ratio). I'd need to go for a smaller size than the original, like 80x40...
Cropping the original to 40x40 around the center would avoid scaling issues while leaving space for two star rows. With the appropriate scaling factor applied, it would result in a 80x40 canvas which should be a reasonable choice. People who'd like to have more stars or scaling can go and use the graphical version instead.
Implemented.
