jayze.py [arguments]
If you provide no arguments, jayze's version will be printed to stdout.
To get a quick overview of available arguments, use -h or --help.
Do not forget to escape characters that are special to your command line environment with a \ (backslash). E.g. for --floater, --chars, --center, etc.
Use these to generate output. Each of the generators support a set of options that can be combined together to your liking.
Some generators take files as input. These must contain one item per line. Lines starting with # will be ignored (empty lines too, except for --typewriter). See docs/example_input for files to start with.

Type START: int
Type END: int
Options: --delay, --scinot, --ascinot, --prec, --sqrt, --eol
Output Fibonacci numbers from START to END. Set END to 0 to let it run without a limit.
Examples:
jayze.py --gen-fibonaccis 0 100
jayze.py --gen-fibonaccis 0 0
Type START: int
Type END: int
Options: --delay, --scinot, --ascinot, --prec, --sqrt, --eol
Output prime numbers from START to END. Set END to 0 to let it run without a limit.
Examples:
jayze.py --gen-primes 0 100
jayze.py --gen-primes 0 0
Type START: int
Type END: int
Options: --delay, --scinot, --ascinot, --prec, --sqrt, --eol
Output triangular numbers from START to END. Set END to 0 to let it run without a limit.
Examples:
jayze.py --gen-triangulars 0 100
jayze.py --gen-triangulars 0 0
Type LENGTH: int
Options: --delay, --rep, --chars, --case, --floater, --center, --sparkle, --eol
Output lines with a fixed LENGTH and randomized characters from --chars.
Example:
jayze.py --gen-lines 20
Type FILE: str
Options: --delay, --rep, --varlen, --case, --eol
Output random phrases constructed from lines in text files.
Examples:
jayze.py --gen-phrases names.txt
jayze.py --gen-phrases prefixes.txt names.txt suffixes.txt
Type FILE: str
Options: --delay, --case
Output words letter for letter like a typewriter from lines in text files. You probably WANT to add the --delay option.
Examples:
jayze.py --gen-typewriter typewriter1.txt
jayze.py --gen-typewriter typewriter1.txt typewriter2.txt --delay 0.075
jayze.py --gen-typewriter typewriter3.txt --delay 0.075
Type CHARACTERS: str
Options: --delay, --case, --eol
Output all possible permutations of CHARACTERS.
Example:
jayze.py --gen-permutations ABCD
Type SIZE: int
Type FILE: str
Write SIZE bytes to FILE.
Example:
jayze.py --gen-dummyfile 1000 dummy.dat
These are the options that can be overridden. If a generator supports one of these options, and the option is not provided throught the command line, the option's default value will be silently used.
Default: Keep original number
Automatically convert numbers to scientific number notation when they exceed the precision limit. Change precision limit with --prec.
Example:
jayze.py --gen-fibonaccis 0 10000000000 --ascinot
Default: Keep original case
Choices: capitalize, lower, title, upper, random
Case format to apply on the output.
Example:
jayze.py --gen-lines 20 --case upper
Type CHARACTER_CENTER: str
Type CHARACTER_BLIP: str
Default: No center effect
Choices: capitalize, lower, title, upper, random
Characters to use for the center effect. CHAR_BLIP will only be visible if a floater effect is crossing the center.
Example:
jayze.py --gen-lines 20 --center \| \*
Type CHARACTERS: str
Default: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789@!?#
Characters to use for output.
Example:
jayze.py --gen-lines 20 --chars abcdefgh01234567
Type SECONDS: int or float
Default: Output as fast as possible
How many seconds to idle after each output iteration.
Example:
jayze.py --gen-lines 20 --delay 1.5
Type CHARACTERS: str
Default: New line
Which characters to add at the end of output iteration. If you want a space, enclose it in quotes.
Examples:
jayze.py --gen-primes 0 100 --eol \|
jayze.py --gen-primes 0 100 --eol " "
jayze.py --gen-primes 0 100 --eol ""
Type CHARACTER_TO_RIGHT: str
Type CHARACTER_TO_LEFT: str
Type CHARACTER_BORDER_RIGHT: str
Type CHARACTER_BORDER_LEFT: str
Default: No floater effect
Characters to use for the floater effect.
Examples:
jayze.py --gen-lines 20 --floater \\ / \) \(
jayze.py --gen-lines 20 --floater \\ / \) \( --center \| \*
Type PRECISION: int
Default: 8
Number precision to use.
Examples:
jayze.py --gen-fibonaccis 0 10000000000 --prec 4 --scinot

jayze.py --gen-fibonaccis 0 10000000000 --prec 4 --sqrt
Default: Avoid immediate repetition
Allow immediate repetition of characters and lines.
Example:
jayze.py --gen-lines 4 --rep --chars ABCD
Default: Do not use scientific number notation
Use scientific number notation.
Examples:
jayze.py --gen-fibonaccis 0 10000000000 --scinot
