## 🚀 Available Plugins

- **chessboard.lua**

  - This script draws a chessboard pattern using alternating block characters (`█` and ` `). Ideal for creating classic board game visuals.

- **color_transformer.lua**

  - Transforms the colors by inverting them. Uses standard ANSI color codes.

- **double_line_frame.lua**

  - Draws a double-line frame using double-line box-drawing characters (`╔`, `╗`, `╚`, `╝`, `═`, `║`). Perfect for highlighting sections.

- **single_line_frame.lua**

  - Draws a single-line frame using single-line box-drawing characters (`┌`, `┐`, `└`, `┘`, `─`, `│`). Perfect for highlighting sections.

- **elite-writing.lua**

  - Converts text to the Elite typewriter font, giving a retro typewriter effect. Uses a custom set of characters for authenticity (e.g., `ε`, `Σ`, `¡`).

- **grid_pattern.lua**

  - Draws a grid pattern using plus, minus, and pipe characters (`┼`). Useful for creating structured layouts.

- **horizontal_gradient.lua**

  - Draws a horizontal gradient pattern using a range of block characters with varying densities (`█`, `▓`, `▒`, `░`). Ideal for smooth transitions.

- **horizontal_stripes.lua**

  - Draws a horizontal striped pattern using block characters (`█` and ` `). Adds a layered look to your artwork.

- **increase_intensity.lua**

  - Replaces blocks with a more dense block, respecting the original block's color. Useful for enhancing the intensity of your artwork. - ` ` → `░`, `░` → `▒`, `▒` → `▓`, `▓` → `█`

- **lower_intensity.lua**

  - Replaces blocks with a less dense block, respecting the original block's color. Useful for reducing the intensity of your artwork. - `█` → `▓`, `▓` → `▒`, `▒` → `░`, `░` → ` `

- **random_blocks.lua**

  - Draws a random block fill pattern using various block characters (`█`, `▓`, `▒`, `░`). Creates a chaotic, pixelated effect.

- **random_half_blocks.lua**

  - Draws a random half-block fill pattern using half-block characters (`▀`, `▄`, `▌`, `▐`). Adds a textured, semi-transparent look.

- **random-colors.lua**

  - Applies random foreground colors while maintaining background. Automatically uses bright on dark backgrounds and dark colors on bright backgrounds for optimal contrast.

- **shadow_effect.lua**

  - This script creates a shadow effect by adding a dotted block (`░`) to the right of each solid block (`█`). Enhances depth and dimension.

- **enhanced_shadow.lua**

  - Improved shadow effect with configurable direction, length, and intensity levels. Creates more realistic shadows using a gradient of block densities (`▓`, `▒`, `░`). Perfect for adding depth to your ANSI art with customizable shadow placement. (You can configure it from the script)

- **vertical_gradient.lua**

  - Draws a vertical gradient pattern using a range of block characters with varying densities (`█`, `▓`, `▒`, `░`). Ideal for smooth vertical transitions.

- **vertical_stripes.lua**

  - Draws a vertical striped pattern using block characters (`█` and ` `). Adds a layered look to your artwork.
