asciidraw is a program that lets you draw ascii shapes in your terminal.

Launching the interpreter

You can compile asciidraw using the standard C compiler gcc, and then invoking the resulting binary to launch the interpreter:

$ ./asciidraw

Example

Below is a sample asciidraw program:

GRID 20 20
CIRCLE 10,10,5
