animatetools

Tools for creating text animations.

examples:

animatetools:

import animatetools

animatetools.animateframes(["frame1", "frame2", "frame3"], 2, 1, file=open("test.py", "w"))

# plays each frame in frames argument at 2 fps, repeating once.

prints the following to the file "test.py":

{"remove all the text from the terminal and move the cursor up to the top line"}
frame1
{"wait 0.5 seconds"}
{"remove all the text from the terminal and move the cursor up to the top line"}
frame2
{"wait 0.5 seconds"}
{"remove all the text from the terminal and move the cursor up to the top line"}
frame3
{"wait 0.5 seconds"}
{"remove all the text from the terminal and move the cursor up to the top line"}
frame1
{"wait 0.5 seconds"}
{"remove all the text from the terminal and move the cursor up to the top line"}
frame2
{"wait 0.5 seconds"}
{"remove all the text from the terminal and move the cursor up to the top line"}
frame3
{"wait 0.5 seconds"}

{"wait 0.5 seconds"} and {"remove all the text from the terminal and move the cursor up to the top line"} don't actually get printed, they just represent what the program does.

typeout:

import animatetools

animatetools.typeout("Print this out one character at a time", "This too", 5, sep=". ", end=". ", file=open("test.py", "w"), flush=True)

# prints out all the values ("Print this out one character at a time" and "This too") at 5 characters per second to the file "test.py",
# seperating each value with ". " and ending in ". ". After each character it by default; flushes the stream so the text doesn't come in
# chunks.

prints the following to the file "test.py":

P{"wait 0.2 seconds"}r{"wait 0.2 seconds"}i{"wait 0.2 seconds"}n{"wait 0.2 seconds"}t{"wait 0.2 seconds"}
{"wait 0.2 seconds"}t{"wait 0.2 seconds"}h{"wait 0.2 seconds"}i{"wait 0.2 seconds"}s{"wait 0.2 seconds"}

{"wait 0.2 seconds"}t{"wait 0.2 seconds"}o{"wait 0.2 seconds"}o{"wait 0.2 seconds"}.{"wait 0.2 seconds"}

{"wait 0.2 seconds"} doesn't actually get printed, it just represents what the program does.

clearconsole

import animatetools, time

print("hi")
time.sleep(1)
clearconsole()

# print "hi", wait one second and then clear the console.

results in:

hi
{"wait 1 second"}
{"remove all the text from the terminal and move the cursor up to the top line"}

{"wait 1 seconds"} and {"remove all the text from the terminal and move the cursor up to the top line"} don't actually get printed, they just represent what the program does.
