Slider is a simple Ruby module to allow a presenter to create and view a slideshow using only a terminal emulator. It requires the use of the console application ‘figlet’ to draw the fancy headings.

Configuration:

• Set the # of columns in your terminal window (default is 80).

set_columns 105

• Set the # of rows in your terminal window (default is 24).

set_rows 30

• Set the FIGlet font of choice. See the FIGlet man page for more info.

set_figlet_font ‘bubble’

Create slides:

• Set the header (first argument), and sub-points (subsequent arguments) each

separated by a comma.

slide “Slider”, “It’s cool!”

Run the show:

start_slideshow
