It's 100% client side and created in vue2 and may be migrated to vue3 in the future. You can view and load ASCII art from https://irc.watch/ascii into asciibird. A most latest production build to use is available at https://asciibird.jewbird.live/ # Current Features * Tabbed ASCII editing * Layers support * Show and hide layers * Change layer order * Double click to rename layer * Copy and paste between tabs * Remembers state on refresh and when the browser loads, can also export the state to a file and load elsewhere. * So you never lose your ascii art! * Saves layers, brushes data also to same file * Can import from clipboard, load from irc.watch/ascii, load from file * Can export mirc ascii to clipboard, file or HTTP POST * 99 Colour support, flip colours * Mirror X and Y * Grid mode with alt + g * Undo and redo with ctrl + z and ctrl + y, undos are set to a limit of 50 at the moment. * Fg, Bg and Char boxes to filter when using certain tools * For example filling with Char unchecked will ignore characters when filling * Toolbar containing * Select * Text mode * Fill background blocks * Brush mode * Block picker (grab fg, bg and char of a block) * Eraser - remove blocks * Fill Eraser - Fill remove blocks by bg * Brush Library and History * Make circle, square and cross brushes by sizes * Brush history, can save or re-use old brushes * Library - Save most used brushes to library * Brush history is set to a limit of 50 * Brush Preview * Editable brush preview * Clicking updates block * Right clicking removes block * Hovering outside brush area will save brush to history ## Noted Bugs to Fix ASCIIBIRD is mostly usable. There are some bugs however to note at the moment. Refreshing the page seems to fix most strange things. * Keyboard shortcuts can be pressed at the same time which makes bugs for undo and redo if you aren't careful! * Circle brush (works okay for odd width and height numbers) * Importer could be re-written with regex * Exporter will default transparent bg to black by default, which wont for some asciis * Having more than a few layers depending on ascii size will slow things down, until the `fillNullBlocks` is refactored. * Select cannot select entire ASCII, is off by one at the end * We could add a special clause for the select tool when mouse leaves canvas to select all blocks * z indexing for toolbars and stuff is ANNOYING * Messing with deleting layers, if you somehow have a layer that isn't selected, it'll be buggy. This is hard to do. * Review escape and enter keys on dialogs and modals * Fill tool use fg or char as bounds ## Focusing on Now / Roadmap * Modals to add * Asciibird options / Options modal from skgs PR * More Context Menus (right click menu) * Brushes Canvas right click * ASCII right click * Image overlay for trace mode * Review encodings check on file import - UTF8 vs Latin something * Revise the blocks system to only store what's changed ## User Feedback Requests * Move brush with keys and space to paint * Improve the character panel, group chars # Fixed / Finished * Cannot manually input brush sizes because keyboard shortcuts is stealing focus * If you open a modal and refresh the page it's stuck as opened inside the state, and you cannot open it again * Toolbars and panels follow when scrolling down * Experimental code to only render blocks visible on screen * Rename Layers * Some work around layers and transparent blocks, skip drawing transparent bg block on top layers. Or get bg from lowest layer if bg is null on higher layers. * The code that hides blocks off screen wont work if you scroll down, however it will work if you drag the canvas upward # Keyboard Shortcuts ## ASCII Editing * Ctrl + Z - Undo * Ctrl + Y - Redo * Ctrl + Shift + C - Save to clipboard * Ctrl + Shift + F - Save to txt file * Escape - Return to default mode / stop using any tool * When the colour picker is open, the first 0 to 9 colours can be chosen with the keyboards number. * When the character picker is open, you can also press any key on your keyboard to set the character. ## Toolbar Keyboard Shortcuts The toolbar keyboard shorts are used with the ALT key. * Alt 1 to 8 - Will toggle the corresponding toolbar icon * Alt + c - Opens character Panel (You can then press on the keyboard your desired character or select from the list) * Alt + f - Opens foreground panel (can then press 0 to 9 for the colour) * Alt + b - Opens background panel (can then press 0 to 9 for the colour) * Alt + g - Toggle grid mode * Ctrl + ] - Increase both brush sizes by 1 * Ctrl + [ - Decrease both brush sizes by 1 ### Default Mode Only * l - Show / hide brushes library * d - Show and Hide debug bar * e - Edit ASCII * p - Paste ASCII from Clipboard * n - New ASCII ### Select Mode Only * Ctrl + c - Copy blocks to clipboard * Ctrl + x - Cut blocks to clipboard * Ctrl + v - Paste blocks as brush * Delete - Delete selected blocks ### Brush Mode Only * e - rotate brush * q - flip brush ### Text mode * Four arrow keys control text cursor * Delete - Remove text from highlighted block * Backspace - Remove current character and move to previous block * Enter - Go to next line and reset X position to 0 # References * http://anti.teamidiot.de/static/nei/*/extended_mirc_color_proposal.html - Good for 99 colours info * https://jp.itch.io/playscii / http://vectorpoem.com/playscii/ * https://mircart.org/ * https://asdf.us/asciiblaster/ * https://acid.vegas/asciimaker * https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60263401/draw-on-canvas-with-vue * https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/vuejs-vue-html5-canvas * https://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/114702/drawing-a-grid-on-canvas * https://github.com/ircart/resources * https://gist.github.com/xon52/fb895e33d64a8d322da165d158fa11b2 / https://xon5.medium.com/flexible-canvas-grid-without-blurred-lines-907fcadf5bfc - Grid canvas draw stuff * http://wepump.in/ascii/ * https://irc.watch/ascii/ * https://modern.ircdocs.horse/formatting.html#color * https://www.mirc.com/colors.html * https://github.com/polygonplanet/encoding.js/ ## Project setup ``` yarn ``` ### Compiles and hot-reloads for development ``` yarn serve ``` ### Compiles and minifies for production ``` yarn build ``` ### Lints and fixes files ``` yarn lint ``` ### Customize configuration See [Configuration Reference](https://cli.vuejs.org/config/).
