Ascii Faces Screen Saver
About
This is a little osx screen saver (built with swift), that cylcles through some awesome ascii faces. Makes for a clean fun screen-savery experience.
Installing
You can download the latest release. This is unsigned*, so here's a little guide for the install
Checking out
Feel free to check out the app and code around... I have a small fear that some files may be missing to set up the project (although it works fine for me). Don't hesitate to reach out if I can help, or clean things up if you notice them out of order. It probably not hard to tell that I'm not an osx kind of guy.
Adding a face
I'm totally happy with people contributing their own faces, here's a little wrap up of the steps involved!
- Check that the face doesn't exist. (cmd + f)
- Add your face in
asciiFaceManager.swift
- Build, and confirm that the face renders nicely.
- Commit, and include ascii face in the commit message, eg:
add: (ง'̀-'́)ง
- Create pull request, include the face in that as well, just like the commit message.
Awesome! I'll merge it in, and create a new build.
To Do
Sadly, I couldn't quite get the config screen to work, allowing you to change between light and dark themes, so its just stuck in dark for now. (still looks great!)
Notes
- This is unsigned, I can't justify buying a developer licence for just this.
- Special cheers to Max Ogden for his awesome contributions to the world of ascii faces ;)
