# asciibots.js
Based on [1k ASCII Mini Robot Factory](https://github.com/walsh9/1k-asciibots), but written in readable modern Javascript, without the constraints of fitting into 1k.
Inspired by the classic Tomy Pocket Game, [Robot Factory](http://www.masters.me.uk/pocketeers/Htm-Designs/flipflopfaces.htm), the code generates robots using parts from the models below:

# Usage
Include the script in your page.
``
Call the `.bot()` method on the `Asciibots` object with a specific 3-5 hex digit ID to get a particular combination as a text string. The final three digits indcate the robot's head, its body, and its legs or whatever. See above for reference. The id may be preceded with 2 additional digits which will change its 'eyes' and 'mouth'.
ID Examples:
_
/ T___
.---3-| |[o]|
| \_ \_-_/
| __1__/ o==|ooo|==o
|| \_ |___|
|| _6__/ /| |\
||| \_ [_] [_]
|||
ID: "316"
__.--- Required (head: 0, body: 5, legs: 9)
|||
ID: "13059"
||
''------- Optional (mouth: 1, eyes: 3)
___T_
| d b |
|__=__|
}-. /\--o/\ .-{
" |___| "
|_|
(ooo)
Calling:
`Asciibots.bot('13059')`
Always results in:
___T_
| d b |
|__=__|
}-. /\--o/\ .-{
" |___| "
|_|
(ooo)
Call the .bot() method with no parameters to get a random robot as a text string.
`Asciibots.bot()`
Has a 1/1048576 chance of producing
T___
|[o]|
\_-_/
()ooo|\=/|ooo()
|___|
// \\
_\\ //_
Or any other combination. If you don't specify a parameter it's random!
#jQuery Plugin
There's also a jQuery plugin. This adds the `asciibot()` method to jQuery objects. When you call the `asciibot()` method it will set the text contents of each matched element to an ASCII robot. Same as the vanilla Javascript version, if you pass a 3-5 digit hex string you will get a specific robot. If you leave the parameters empty you will get a random robot.
