    vector font toolkit inspired by PICO-8

  





  

    [homepage]

  



boomshak is a toolkit for rendering text using SVG.

The font itself is directly inspired by the [PICO-8] fantasy

console's built-in pixel font.

The toolkit as a whole is inspired more generally by the

simplicity of PICO-8's design and the creativity of the

PICO-8 community in pushing its boundaries.

I wanted to bring some of that magic to the stuff I do on the

web, and boomshak is part of that.

So the package is as simple and flexible as possible so that

it's usable for all kinds of different ideas and projects.



  



Usage

-----

I've really just written this for myself to use, but you're

welcome to install the npm package and try it too. I'm not gonna

document the setup process or APIs or anything right now though,

because it'd set the wrong expectations. This is really more of

a private package that I'm open sourcing because there's no

reason not to, rather than an open source project I'm trying to

start. Let me know if you do use it for something though

because I'm open to changing that.
