queercat

a version of lolcat with some lgbtq+ pride flags options

Usage

$ queercat [-f flag_number][-h horizontal_speed] [-v vertical_speed] [--] [FILES...]

Concatenate FILE(s), or standard input, to standard output.  
With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

--flag <d>                , -f <d>: Choose colors to use: [rainbow: 0, trans: 1, NB: 2, lesbian: 3, gay: 4, pan: 5, bi: 6, genderfluid: 7, asexual: 8, unlabeled: 9, aromantic : 10, aroace: 11] default is rainbow(0)
--horizontal-frequency <d>, -h <d>: Horizontal rainbow frequency (default: 0.23)  
  --vertical-frequency <d>, -v <d>: Vertical rainbow frequency (default: 0.1)  
                 --force-color, -F: Force color even when stdout is not a tty  
             --no-force-locale, -l: Use encoding from system locale instead of assuming UTF-8  
                    --random, -r: Random colors  
                       --24bit, -b: Output in 24-bit "true" RGB mode (slower and
                                    not supported by all terminals)  
                         --version: Print version and exit  
                            --help: Show this message

Adding a flag

Step 1: Define the pattern

To add a flag, first add an instance of pattern_t for it to the flags array in the main.c file. Look for the section /* *** Flags *********************************************************/, then find /* Add new flags above this line. */. The order is important! For the sake of simplicity, you should only add to the end.

Example:

    },

    {
        .name = "nonbinary",
            .ansii_pattern = {
                .codes_count = 8,
                .ansii_codes = {226, 226, 255, 255, 93, 93, 234, 234}
            },
            .color_pattern = {
                .stripes_count = 4,
                .stripes_colors = {
                    0xffff00, /* #ffff00 - Yellow */
                    0xb000ff, /* #b000ff - Purple */
                    0xffffff, /* #ffffff - White */
                    0x000000  /* #000000 - Black */
                },
                .factor = 4.0f
            },
            .get_color = get_color_stripes
    },
    /* Add new flags above this line. */
};

Step 2 (optional): Update README.md to include your addition.

Pay attention to the number it gets from its position in the array!

Extend the line for --flag under Usage.

Note that in the readme it is a single line.

Step 3: Pull request :)

Compiling

to compile with gcc: $ gcc main.c -lm -o queercat

add the binary to a directory in your PATH variable (/bin can work) to use from everywhere
