built-in figlet system #81

Open kristopolous opened 4 years ago

kristopolous commented 4 years ago

A way to ascii/ansi(simulated of course) art say, all h2 text would be pretty great.

For those unfamiliar with figlet, go here: http://www.figlet.org/

The theme here isn't "text emulation of graphics" though ... it's webpage emulation of terminal programs. So given that we're looking at the BBS style art or the blocky text style of things. Oh right I made that project already. Sorry that was 7 years ago, I called it unifig: https://github.com/kristopolous/UniFig ... ah it just php'd figlet ... nvm ... there's some javascript figlet libraries and those are fine ... but I dunno

I don't want a heavy system and really I'm not trying to support unicode here, outside [A-Za-z0-9 and misc punctuation] you're on your own.

converting ansi codes to html would be pretty awesome too.

There's many projects that do this already. I covered their flaws in #82

A built in figlet system would be really cool.. as that is what my community site is all about. Ascii logos. Haha maybe the artist would start doing their own character sets and start dropping ascii collys like there is no tomorrow.. it would be really neat to type in an ascii logo quickly and do the final tweaks after that.

I'll essentially be looking to WASM figlet

Cool. If we could do an online editor for custom charsets and letting users upload those we have a winner for sure.

That's a different project really. This is more a clone of full screen productivity applications, which is why the bootstrap marriage works.

There's so much work on the emulator world these days and to be honest i haven't really gotten deep into it. I know you can find basically any classic system through a web page these days. If we're talking new software that's a good talk, but emulated terminal software, I'm sure it's way solved
