Do some interesting stuff with console-fun

I want to share a console-fun - command-line app providing stuff to have a fun and watch some animations with texts, figures, etc. and also play different games from the command line.

First of all you need to install this package globally, using your preferred package manager

npm install --global console-fun
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

or

yarn global add console-fun
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then you can run a console-fun command. You can also use shorter aliases created for convenience: confun, cofun or cofu.
When running this cli program you can provide a --topic option - currently there are two different variants - game and print and the --item option.
For example if you want to play colored-stars-watcher game issue the following command:

console-fun --topic game --item colored-stars-watcher
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

or using an alias:

cofu --topic game --item colored-stars-watcher
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In the print topic you can do some stuff over text content, for example: read-file - read file line by line (useful tool that provides support to read file in very handy way): console-fun --topic print --item read-file --subject tmp/bar.txt

hacker-types - immitates fast coding - type any random keys from the keyboard and there will be populated some snippet at the console (you can surprise your friend by this thing):

console-fun --topic print --item hacker-types
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

I hope you would find something useful for you from this tool.
