Figlet - a figlet font parser and writer

Greetings CC Forums! I have created an API to parse and write UNIX FIGlet files. FIGlet is a font format for making large text, e.g text-based banners. This allows you to use any figlet font in ComputerCraft for your own programs!

Using banner.flf:


Using big.flf:


Get the API
pastebin get zRxLKh7n figlet

Using the API
The API is pretty simple.

• Load the API with os.loadAPI
• Create a font instance with figlet.parseFont("filename.flf")
• Draw the text with figlet.write(font, "text")

For example:

os.loadAPI("figlet")

local font = figlet.parseFont("banner.flf")

print(figlet.write(font, "Hello!"))

Font Files
The API should work with any regular .flf file (though it doesn't support smushing yet). The two I used in this example are banner.flf and big.flf.

Cool, I say! Does it support kerning?

Thanks! Not yet, smushing and kerning are planned features though!
