[Click here](http://apps.introcs.com/idrees/ps00-card/) to see the letter to mum example, and [click here](http://apps.introcs.com/idrees/letter/) to see the UTA welcome letter in action!\n\n## How it works\n\nGhost-Writer uses a custom \"scripting language\" to write out a letter dynamically. Using emojis, you can command the writer to pause for a few seconds, backspace, write a new line, and stop. Pretty simple stuff really.\n\n## How to use it\n\nTo use Ghost-Writer, change the script to anything you would like to write, making sure to follow the documentation below. Note that every emoji command must be followed with a \"space\" (Ex. \"🆕 \" or \"⬅️9 \").\n\n### Documentation:\n| Emoji Command  | Description   |\n| :--------------: |:-------------:|\n|🆕                | Creates a new line, which can be backspaced if need be |\n|⬅️[number]        | Backspaces by the specified amount, though has a limit of 9 characters. If you need to backspace more, just add another command, but be aware that backspacing an emoji character can sometimes take more than one \"backspace\" to complete (blame unicode) |\n|⏸[number]        | Pauses the writing for the specified number of \"ticks.\" Note that ticks are slightly random, and depend on the update rate. Once again, number is limited to 0-9. |\n|🛑                | Stops the program from updating and clearing, and runs the callback |\n\n### Scripts for each example:\n[**Letter to Mum**](http://apps.introcs.com/idrees/ps00-card/): \n```\n\"Hello world⬅️5 mum!⏸1 🆕 It has been a while⬅️7 forever since I last showed you a program.⏸1 🆕 Well youre⬅️2 're luck has just run out!🆕 My COMP110 UTA professor⬅️9  boss⬅️4  Kris⬅️4 ⏸4 ⬅️9 ⬅️8 Someone has required me to make you a card as my first assignment.⏸3 🆕 I don't know why either.🆕 Either way I just had to ⬅️7 wanted to say hi, and that I can't wait to come home so that I can do my laundry⬅️6 ⬅️7  see you again!🆕 Love you always, and see you soon! ⏸1 ♥⏸1 ♥⏸1 ♥🛑\"\n```\n\n[**UTA Welcome Letter**](http://apps.introcs.com/idrees/letter/):\n```\n\"Hello world⬅️5 mates!⏸1 🆕 My name is Idrees Hassan, and I will be your personal COMP110 UTA this semester!🆕 I am a nerd⬅️4 Computer Science major from Cary NC, and I started programming in middle school when I tried and failed⬅️9 ⬅️1 to make a game. 🆕 As it turns out, I am rather shi⬅️3 bad at making games, but not that bad at programming, so I decided to stick with it and found myself a passion I never would have expected to enjoy.🆕 Whether you find a new passion or a new headache, I will be here to help you through every step of the way! 🆕 Throughout the semester, if you have any questions or find any particular concepts rather stupid⬅️6 annoying, feel free to reach out to me!
