cmd-artlisted

Design and render terminal/CMD visual effects and ASCII art from a one-line request via the pluggable `fx` engine (30 effects, hot-swappable and themeable, plus scripted shows). Effects include donut, matrix rain, plasma, fire, a spinning 3D ball, a solar-system orrery, Game of Life, wireframe cube, 3D text banners, rainbow/lolcat gradient text, starfield, tunnel, fireworks, image-to-ASCII, and more. Use when the request is for a terminal animation, ANSI/CLI art, or a new console effect. Pure Python stdlib; truecolor.

# cmd-art Render and design terminal visual effects with `fx`, a living-template engine: an `Effect` ABC + a `@register` decorator + pkgutil auto-discovery, so effects, themes, and multi-effect shows all compose. Pure Python stdlib (optional `pyfiglet` for fonts, `PIL` for real images). Truecolor + ANSI, tuned for Windows Terminal but works on any VT-capable terminal. ## When to use - User asks for a terminal/CMD animation or ANSI art: "spinning ball", "donut", "matrix rain", "plasma", "fire", "game of life", "3D title", "rainbow banner", "starfield", "tunnel", "fireworks". - User wants a static ASCII title/banner with a color gradient, or an image turned into ASCII. - User wants to invent a new console effect (drop one file in `fx/effects/`). ## The 30 effects (registry names) Run `python -m fx list` for the live catalog. Names + aliases as registered: | name | kind | what | aliases | |------|------|------|---------| | `sphere` | anim | rotating Lambert-shaded 3D ball ("spinning ball") | | | `donut` | anim | THE spinning ASCII torus (Sloane donut.c) | | | `solarsystem` | anim | orrery: planets on elliptical orbits round a pulsing sun | `orrery`, `planets` | | `cube` | anim | rotating wireframe cube | | | `tunnel` | anim | demoscene tunnel fly-through | | | `starfield` | anim | perspective starfield warp | | | `plasma` | anim | full-screen sine interference field | `wave` | | `julia` | anim | animated Julia-set fractal (morphing c) | `juliaset` | | `mandelbrot` | anim | i
