Hi everyone, I wanted to generate one of those terminal animations as a demo for my project (related to Ansible), and I wanted to do that:
- automatically (as in, repeatable-and-I-will-never have-type-those-things-again)
- mimicking a typing human, with some random pauses and jitter
I could not find anything that would do it (or maybe I haven’t searched enough), so I ended up writing one. There is a lot of room for improvement, but if anyone’s keen to give it a try, it is called asciinwriter (the idea was to name it screenwriter but that package name was already taken).
Hope it is useful to others!
Cheers,
Alex
