### font files are FIGlet .flf files http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIGlet

## USAGE

### command-line -

          asciimo "roffles" Cybermedium

### node.js - 

          var asciimo = require('./lib/asciimo').Figlet;

          var colors = require('./lib/colors'); // add colors for fun

          // pick the font file

          var font = 'banner';

          // set text we are writeing to turn into leet ascii art

          var text = "hello, i am asciimo";

          asciimo.write(text, font, function(art){

            console.log(art.magenta);

            var anotherFont = 'binary';

            var moreText = "i turn text into leet ascii art ^_^.";

            asciimo.write(moreText, anotherFont, function(art){

              console.log(art.red);

              var anotherFont = 'Colossal';

              var moreText = "400+ fonts supported";

              asciimo.write(moreText, anotherFont, function(art){

                console.log(art.green);  

                var anotherFont = 'tinker-toy';

                var moreText = "Marak Squires 2010";

                asciimo.write(moreText, anotherFont, function(art){

                  console.log(art.yellow);  

                  console.log('if you can\'t see the text try making your console larger'.red.underline)

                });

              });

            });

          });

### browser - 

          // the current browser demo requires jQuery. you could easily make it work without jQuery.

          // we'll have to figure out a smarter way to make this library work dual-sided. 

          // also, i haven't included the DOM elements here so you really should just check out the index.html file

          

          

          

          

          

          

          // not used, could be implemented, maybe AJAX browser cache is good enough? do some research!

          var fontCache = {};

          $(document).ready(function(){

            // populate the select box

            for(var i = 0; i<Figlet.fontList.length; i++){

              var fontTitle = Figlet.fontList[i].replace('.flf','').replace('.aol',''); // remove the file extentions for the title

              $('#fontSelector').append('<option value = "'+Figlet.fontList[i]+'">'+fontTitle+'</option>');

            }

    

            // protip : understanding the following two blocks of code will make you jQuery ninja

    

            /***** NAMED EVENTS *****/

              // change the font and load a new font via jQuery async AJAX request

              $(document).bind('##CHANGE_FONT##', function(e, data){

                Figlet.loadFont(data.fontName, function(rsp){

                  $(document).trigger('##RENDER_ASCII_ART##', {font:rsp}); // the font has changed, lets call the render ascii art event

                });

              });

  

              $(document).bind('##RENDER_ASCII_ART##', function(e){

                Figlet.write($('#theCode').val(), $('#fontSelector').val(), function(str) {

                  debug.log('wrote');

            		  $('#asciiArt').html('<pre>' + str + '</pre>');

            		});

              });

            /**** END NAMED EVENTS ****/

            /**** BIND UI EVENTS ****/

              // select box change

              $('#fontSelector').change(function(){

                $(document).trigger('##CHANGE_FONT##', {"fontName":$(this).val()})

              });

    

              // you would think jQuery.change() would cover the keypress event on select boxes? 

              $("#fontSelector").keypress(function (){

                $(document).trigger('##CHANGE_FONT##', {"fontName":$(this).val()})

              });

              // keyup on textarea

              $('#theCode').keyup(function(e){

                $(document).trigger('##RENDER_ASCII_ART##');

              });

    

              $('#run').click(function(e){

                $(document).trigger('##RENDER_ASCII_ART##');

              });

            /**** END UI BIND EVENTS ****/

            // little bit of a onReady hack. i'll fix the API a bit so this can be done better

            $(document).trigger('##CHANGE_FONT##', {"fontName":'Doh'});

            $('#fontSelector').val('Doh');

          });
