(sorry if I forgot someone or bothered someone too much )
I have a suggestion for all developers and assemblers of different versions of Puppy.

Add such a wonderful thing as ANSI Code Generator to your future projects (if not added yet).

This wonderful bash script is not only fun, but also useful.

I put it in /root/my-applications/bin/ and now I can do various useful things and even such perversions :

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

showLine() {
    local I LEN REPLACED
    LEN="${#1}"
    REPLACED=""
    ansi -n --column=$((CENTER - ((LEN + 1) / 2)))
    for ((I=0; I < ${#1}; I++)); do
        case "${1:$I:1}" in
            "&")
                REPLACED+="$Cyan "
                ;;

            "R")
                REPLACED+="$Red "
                ;;

            "#")
                REPLACED+="$Y*"
                ;;

            "|")
                REPLACED+="$G|"
                ;;

            *)
                REPLACED+="$R?"
                ;;
        esac
    done
    echo "$REPLACED$R"
}

# Yellow
Y=$(ansi --bg-yellow --magenta --no-restore)
# Green
G=$(ansi --bg-black --green --no-restore)
# Red
Red=$(ansi --bg-red --no-restore)
# Cyan
Cyan=$(ansi --bg-cyan --no-restore)
# Reset
R=$(ansi --reset-color)

PUP=(

"R###&||##||##|R###R||R###R||R#||#R"
"##||##|##||##|##||##|##||##|##||##"

"##|||||##||##|##|||||##|||||||##||"
"R&||||||#R&#||R&|||||R&|||||||##||"
)

CENTER=$(tput cols)
CENTER=$((CENTER / 2))

ansi -n --save-cursor --hide-cursor --position=2,1

for LINE in "${PUP[@]}"; do
    showLine "$LINE"
done

ansi --title=PuppyLinux -n --show-cursor --restore-cursor

An old friend of mine said today that Puppy here does not look like a Robopup, but looks like... a miner in a coal mine Mmmm... Okay, there's something to it (helmet?!) Result:

My first perception of that image was of Puppy dog shit .. at least until my eyes took in the LINUX text.

I looked more closely. If I look fast...

It may need to be changed to something unambiguous. Otherwise, users of other systems will think that we (or I) are not respectable people and not even cultured But now I'm too lazy to even finish drawing a bone on wheels near Puppy (something like a miner's trolley)
