# botsay [![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-BSD-green.svg?style=flat)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xyproto/botsay/master/LICENSE) [![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/github.com/xyproto/botsay)](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/xyproto/botsay)

Like cowsay, but with ASCII robots generated with [go-asciibot](https://github.com/mattes/go-asciibot), which is based on [asciibots](https://github.com/walsh9/asciibots), which is in turn based on [1k-asciibots](https://github.com/walsh9/1k-asciibots) which is inspired by the [Robot Factory](http://www.masters.me.uk/pocketeers/Htm-Designs/flipflopfaces.htm) game.

### Examples

Output of `botsay 'Build complete'`:

```

     .===.          .----------------.

    //o o\\         | Build complete |

    \\_v_//         '----------------'

  .==|>o<|==:=L

  '=c|___|

    .'._.'.

    |_| |_|

```

Output of `botsay -- $(fortune)`:

```

       Y__           .--------------------------------------------.

     _/- -\_         | If you think last Tuesday was a drag,      |

      \_O_/       --<| wait till you see what happens tomorrow!   |

   .==|>o<|==:=L     '--------------------------------------------'

   '=c|___|

      (   )

     __) (__

```

Output of `botsay -- $(botsay;botsay;botsay)`:

```
