# ASCIIBIRD

ASCIIBIRD DEVELOPMENT - TAKING FLIGHT

# FOCUSING ON NOW

* Toolbar stuff / Brush Size

* Context Menus (right click menu)
* Keyboard shortcuts
* Undo feature

* BLOCK BUG WITH WHITE CHARS
* COMPRESSION inside the localStorage

# KILLER ASCIIBIRD FEATURES DONE

* Tabbed editing for asciis
* Remembers ASCII states, can export and import ASCIIBIRD state files
* Import ASCII from https://irc.watch/
* Update text colours without deleting the block
* Floating pattlets, resizeable and remembers positions
* .ASB file, but it's not gzipped yet just json.

# KILLER ASCIIBIRD FEATURES TO DO

* Layers / Insert ASCII as layer

* Undo for brush settings and shit changes
* Overlay image for nance tracing mode


# ASCIIBIRD API?

* Insert image to convert to ASCII into a layer
* Support for tdfiglet, toilet, figlet importing

# Things To Do Later

* Properly get CSS into the JS stuff ya lazy bird
* Animated ASCII (key frames like in flash with sound) (Possible with JSON but it will be FKN memory hog maybe)
 * We could do this, but these custom ASCIIs could only be played in our player
