Getting Started

Enhance your terminal with cool and unnecessary messages 😏

Inspiration

Coolmessages was inspired by the nostalgic program, cowsay.

We simply seek to create a program with more unnecessary, yet cool, characters. 😎

Installation

pip install coolmessages

Basic Usage

The draw function accepts two arguments. The first, a valid character from the characters list. The second is optional, a message to print. If no message is passed, only the character will be printed.

coolmessages.draw(character, message="")

Here is a working example with and without a message:

>>> import coolmessages
>>> coolmessages.draw("peter_griffin", "I'm the most uncompetitive. So I win.")
  _____________________________________
| I'm the most uncompetitive. So I win. |
