CuteSaver

A simple ASCII screensaver in Bash Script.

Introduction

Cuteness, cuteness everywhere! Something I threw together whilst waiting for a flight - this simple set of scripts loops through a few pre-defined ASCII images.

To run the app, simply execute the script in this repo's root folder as follows:

./cute

The Logic (a.k.a. The Heart)

I use the word 'logic' quite ironically - this is a pretty simple set of scripts. The 'cute' script enters the /heart directory and executes the 'main.sh' - this file gives the user an introduction and in turn executes the art display script.

Parameters for all can be changed easily. The files are all commented... go nuts!

Having issues getting it working? Getting weird errors?

Check the permissions on the 'cute' file, and the files within the /heart folder. If you need to, chmod +x to make the files executable.

The Artwork (a.k.a. The Art)

To get around special character issues (e.g. artwork containing ./ which the script would try to execute), all of the ASCII art is stored in indivudual .art files in the /art folder.

You can add any number of files to that folder - you just need to add the relevant lines in /heart/rollthecute.sh.

Try to keep in mind that many people will use this in a terminal window rather than full screen - smaller art is better... just as long as it's cute!
