When I saw a tweet using these blocky letters,
I thought it would be nice to make
fbink print in that style.
Spoiler:
sweep:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#implied PATH=$PATH':./'
cd /mnt/us
#Bug? or shell kwirk:
# Must not start the ascii inline string with a space.
# starting with a space (as an ascii sweep should) doesn't cause fbink to print it!
# block 0 0 2 $(cat ascii.txt) -c does work even even the ascii.txt file starts with a space
fbink -c "."
block 0 0 2 $(cat <<'EOF')
.!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRowsTUVWXYZ[\]^_`{|}~
EOF
