ASCII Art

This project is a program written in Go that takes a string as an argument and outputs the string in a graphical representation using ASCII characters. The goal is to create a visual representation of the input string using ASCII art.

Usage

To run the program, use the following command:

Simply copy the below command and change the text between the "" symbol. And make sure that you are in the App directory.

go run . "enter-yours-text" "BannerName"

For example:

go run . "Hello There!" "shadow" | cat -e

Or try the test file.

 ../Testing/Test.sh
 ../Testing/BannaerTest.sh

Also you can save the art in a txt file by using thr follwing command (Make sure to use the same format as following):

- $ go run . --output="FileName.txt" "enter-yours-text" BannerName

Banner Files

The project includes several banner files with predefined graphical templates represented using ASCII characters. These files are formatted in a way that does not require any changes.

• shadow
