REPLesent is a neat little tool to build presentations using the Scala REPL.
Conceptualized and originally implemented while waiting almost two hours for a plane to be de-iced, it was introduced during the Northeast Scala Symposium 2015 in Boston.
While clearly not a Powerpoint replacement, REPLesent is a good alternative for training sessions and technical talks that have a live coding component. Its old-school looks was considered very cool by many conference attendants.
REPLesent is distributed as a single .scala file and has no dependencies.
REPLesent was designed to be used only in conjunction with the Scala REPL.
It is not meant to be compiled as a standalone application
(build.sbt is only for running the unit tests).
We recommend you install and use the full Scala distribution
(the scala command) instead of just the sbt console.
Scala 2.11.4 or later and JDK 7 or later are the preferred versions.
To get started, download and save to the same folder the files
REPLesent.scala and REPLesent.txt.
First, create an alias:
alias REPLesent='scala -Dscala.color -language:_ -nowarn -i REPLesent.scala'Open the REPL and enter the two statements below:
$ REPLesent
Loading REPLesent.scala...
defined class REPLesent
Welcome to Scala version 2.11.5 (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.8.0_31).
Type in expressions to have them evaluated.
Type :help for more information.
scala> val replesent = REPLesent(80, 25)
replesent: REPLesent = REPLesent(80,25,REPLesent.txt)
scala> import replesent._
import replesent._Do not forget to replace 80, 25 with the actual size of your terminal window.
Once all is done, type f, press ENTER, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Experimental screen size auto-detection: For Unix-like systems, including Mac OS X and Linux, you can omit the screen size. Does not work for Microsoft Windows systems.
I don't care if it is used, I just want it to be useful
