Cursor movement and screen clearing

clear_screen()

ASCII art

from stylizedterminal import StylizedStr

print(StylizedStr("HELLO").ascii_art()) # if you also want to make it something else for example a different color you will have to call the ascii_art() function first, else it will get confused and print the color code in the ascii.
