AsciiMorph
AsciiMorph is a small stand alone javascript library for rendering ascii art and creations into elements, allowing for them to be changed out with a morphing transition.
Demo
Here's a gif of it in action. You can also play with the demo live here.
Usage
You'll need an
domelement for the ascii's to be rendered within.
Next up, you will want to initialize the library. The second parameter is the
widthand
heightproperties you want in your rendering square. The ascii will be rendered centered within them, and fill the rest with white space. Naturally this looks best with monospace fonts.
// Initialize AsciiMorph
var element = document.querySelector('pre');
AsciiMorph(element, {x: 50,y: 25});
Then you can get to the fun, rendering elements, and morphing between them.
// First, define some ascii art.
var bird = [
" /",
" /",
" /;",
" //",
" ;/",
" ,//",
" _,-' ;_,,",
" _,'-_ ;|,'",
" _,-'_,..--. |",
" ___ .'-'_)' ) _)\\| ___",
" ,'\"\"\"`'' _ ) ) _) ''--'''_,-'",
"-={-o- /| ) _) ) ; '_,--''",
" \\ -' ,`. ) .) _)_,''|",
" `.\"( `------'' /",
" `.\\ _,'",
" `-.____....-\\\\",
" || \\\\",
" // ||",
" // ||",
" _-.//_ _||_,",
" ,' ,-'/"
]
var mona = [
" ____",
" o8%8888,",
" o88%8888888.",
" 8'- -:8888b",
" 8' 8888",
" d8.-=. ,==-.:888b",
" >8 ~ :~' d8888", " 88 ,88888", " 88b. -~ ':88888",
" 888b == .:88888",
" 88888o--:':::8888",
" 88888| :::' 8888b", " 8888^^' 8888b", " d888 ,%888b.", " d88% %%%8--'-.", "/88:.__ , _%-' --- -", " '''::===..-' = --. ",
]
// Then, you can render (will render instantly)
AsciiMorph.render(bird);
// Then morph, to a new creation
AsciiMorph.morph(mona);
