81 curated arts ร— 12 motions = 972 terminal animations. 153,600 unique procedural characters from a single seed. Plus 100 kaomoji, 11 diagram types, FIGlet banners, and image-to-ASCII with braille mode.

 single      double      rounded       bold        ascii

Options: padding, align (left/center/right), title in top border.

Charts

Unified chart tool with 3 types: progress, sparkline, heatmap.

Code
Progress:   โ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–ˆโ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘โ–‘ 75%

Heatmap:     A B C
           X โ–‘โ–’โ–ˆ
           Y โ–“โ–‘โ–’

Animations

Compose any art (noun) with a motion (verb) to create terminal animations. 81 arts ร— 12 motions = 972 combinations. Custom text works too.

Code
animate("apple", "bounce")     โ†’ bouncing apple
animate("trophy", "progress")  โ†’ trophy rides a progress bar 0โ†’100%
animate("lock", "reveal")      โ†’ line-by-line reveal
animate("GAME OVER", "blink")  โ†’ blinking custom text

Motions: bounce, shake, blink, slide, reveal, fade, pulse, rain, progress, wave, jump, talk

Output: script (bash for terminal playback) or frames (raw data)

Character

Procedural ASCII character generator. One seed โ†’ one unique character. 153,600 standard combinations (16 species ร— 10 eyes ร— 8 mouths ร— 10 hats ร— 12 accessories).

Code
character("alice")                   character("bob", mood: "happy")

   ____                                  /\_/\
  ]==== )                                ( ^ ^ )
  _____                                  ( u )
 / * * \                                  \_^_/
|   u   |
 \_____/
  |||||
   ~~o=o~~

Species: blob, cat, bear, robot, bird, bunny, ghost, alien, fox, frog, penguin, octopus, dragon, mushroom, cactus, skull

Mood presets: happy, sad, angry, surprised, sleepy, cool, love, silly โ€” sets eyes+mouth in one param. Explicit eyes/mouth still override.

Mini mode: 2-line inline characters for chat and status lines.

Code
mini blob: (^ ^)    mini cat: /^ ^\    mini robot: [^ ^]
            (u)                >u<                  [u]

Same seed always produces the same character. Output works directly with the animate tool โ€” try wave, jump, or talk motions.

Compose

Combine multiple text blocks horizontally (side-by-side) or vertically (stacked):

Code
โ”Œโ”€โ”€โ”€โ” โ”Œโ”€โ”€โ”€โ”         โ”Œโ”€โ”€โ”€โ”

                    โ””โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”˜
                    vertical

Options: gap, align (top/middle/bottom), separator (vertical mode).

Image Conversion

Convert images (URL or base64) to ASCII art. Two render modes:

  • ascii โ€” character ramp ( .:-=+*#%@), classic look
  • braille โ€” Unicode braille dots (โ ฟ), 8x resolution per character

Options: size (16/32/64), invert, contrast, gamma, threshold (braille).
