Text browser / Ansi Art gallery script for x/84

This script enables the user to browse the filesystem and look at ascii/ansi files.

Installation instructions

  1. Copy textbrowse.py to your default script directory.
  2. Copy textbrowse.ans to your art directory.
  3. Change the 'startfolder' variable in textbrowse.py to whatever directory you want to use as a starting point for the script.

You can also pass a textfile as an argument to the script.

Using the script to display .txt files in fbrowse.py

As the fbrowse.py script is being updated constantly there can't be any precise installation instructions.

  1. Add from x84.bbs import gosub to the imports section in fbrowse.py

  2. Search for if lightbar.selected or inp in (term.KEY_LEFT, term.KEY_RIGHT,): in fbrowse.py

  3. Add the following lines of code beneath that line:

    if (ext in COLLY_EXTENSIONS
        and (lightbar.selected or inp is term.KEY_RIGHT)):
    gosub('textbrowse',filepath,'/',filename)
    draw_interface(term, lightbar)

Enjoy!
