ASCII Art Generator

A simple Go-based CLI tool that converts text strings into ASCII art banners using predefined templates.

Features

• Converts alphanumeric text and symbols into stylized ASCII banners.
• Supports multiple banner styles (standard, shadow, thinkertoy).
• Uses Go's embed package to bundle banner files directly into the binary.
• Handles multi-line input via literal \n characters.

Installation

Ensure you have Go installed.

1. Clone or navigate to the project directory:

   cd /Go_artify

2. Build the project:

   go build -o go_artify

Usage

Run the program with a single string argument. Use \n for new lines.

./go_artify "Hello\nWorld"

Example

$ ./go_artify "Hi"
 _    _  _ 
| |  | || |
| |__| || |
|  __  || |
| |  | || |
|_|  |_||_|
           

Banner Files

The tool relies on template files where each character is represented by 8 lines of ASCII art:

• standard.txt (Default)
• shadow.txt
• thinkertoy.txt

Currently, standard.txt is embedded by default.

Testing

Run the included tests to verify functionality:

go test -v
