README

PHP-Console is an utility class for console output and text animations.

Animations (new!)

You can produce ASC Art animations using a simple sprite structure and animate them in your console output.

use robotdance/Sprite;
...
$spr = new Sprite('./sprites/blinking_programmer.spr');
echo $spr->animate();
}

That will produce a programmer blinking his eyes in front of the computer:

The sprite files are easy to build. A fast hack into the example vim sprites/blinking_programmer.spr and the sprite class vim src/Sprite.php will show you how to make your own animations. Have fun!

Ansi color output examples

use robotdance/Console;
...
echo Console::red('Bob is going home'); // red text
echo Console::apply('Bob is going home', ['red', 'bold']); // red and bold text
echo Console::indent('Bob is going home', 4, 2); two levels of identation
}

Please take a look at the source comments and generate docs through PHPDocumentor to learn more.
