hollywood VS figlet

I'm looking for dumb, useless and fun cli tools like cowsay or Hollywood

One example software project is hollywood. A tiny tool which turns your terminal into a Hollywood style real time hacking scene:

Probably hollywood

https://github.com/dustinkirkland/hollywood for anyone wondering

But the screen you're looking at is just the hollywood program, which just runs a bunch of programs with heavy output to simulate the ridiculous cliches of what hacking looks like in movies.

For those that need it - there are several scripts like Hollywood [ https://github.com/dustinkirkland/hollywood ] that just lays on top in your terminal pushing out nonsense and others that are more realistic that does the same. I mean Hollywood doesn't look the least bit real so might only work if your boss is thick

Figlet: makes big text with ascii art. http://www.figlet.org/

Need to change font, size, italics? - Not a problem. The tool knows how to do this simply with argulet.

figlet is the classic tool to generate these, toilet is a slightly more modern reimplementation with some added features (like color)

http://www.figlet.org/

I love this and I'm going to use it for fancy comments in code and in the browser console. It'd be really cool if you could integrate something like http://www.figlet.org/ for inserting ASCII text art.

I wish I had known about this tool when I building this little browser game https://replit.com/@aMoniker/Gush because all the levels & game objects are generated from multiline strings of ascii symbols, and it just took too long to do manually.

Tip: use figlet next time.

Terminal programs: Neofetch (Top left), Figlet (Top right), Ranger (Bottom left), Neovim (Bottom right)
