  • figlet

    Claudio's FIGlet tree

  • 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.
