Gasciiart

Gasciiart creates an animated git repository. Each frame of ASCII animation is a separate commit.

Using the run.sh script, the repository will "play" itself by checking out each commit in turn and displaying it.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'gasciiart'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install gasciiart

You should have an input directory where each frame to be animated is a separate file. e.g.:

- input/
  - 00001.txt
  - 00002.txt
  - 00003.txt
  - 00004.txt

(The filenames are sorted by Ruby, so use any naming scheme as long as the sort results in the order you want)

Run the command:

gasciiart --source input/ --target output/

(The output directory must not exist beforehand)

The output directory will have the run.sh script to start the animation.
