See detailed documentation of TermSaver application here:
http://github.com/brunobraga/termsaver/
Based on the above, this plugin comes to place to give extra-functionalities to TermSaver application:
- Screensavers using FigLet fonts as output (cool ASCII based font drawings that make a good case for terminal screensavers)
- Linux, or Mac
- Python 2.4+ (and < 3.x)
- Termsaver
- Figlet
For those without the time or patience to scan through the rest of this document, here is the installation procedure, plain and simple:
pip install termsaver-figlet
And you are done!
Note: I discourage the use of easy_install (does not add man pages, or localization files)
-
Download the Source here
-
Unpack it
tar -zxvf termsaver-figlet-{version}.tar.gz -
Install it
sudo ./setup.sh
Note: Use the bash script instead of the setup.py python script because it prepares the environment to handle the Termsaver library dependencies. See this bash script if you want to run things yourself.
- All done!
The TermSaver is a very simple application, built with the idea to allow more screensavers to be added to its core. Developers, please read the section below.
The current published screensavers are:
Shows a flying (horizontally) text using Figlet fonts.
An alternative to Termsaver's randtxt, using Figlet fonts instead.
Disclaimer Note: termsaver-figlet holds no responsibility for the fonts offered Figlet and/or installed by third-parties, nor it has controls to filter them. Use it at your own risk.
Feel free to help us out by improving this, or use it as base for creating your own Termsaver plugins. Some guidelines for that will be available soon.
There is no current roadmap defined, besides improvement tickets created in Issues tab in GitHub. Refer also to http://github.com/brunobraga/termsaver-figlet/wiki/Brainstorming for some insights of stuff we are thinking about.
The internationalization of this application follows same standards of most applications out there, by using gettext and MO/PO files.
The translation is still being finished up, and when it is ready for contributor calls, we will post detailed information about the procedure.
