NAME

       aafire, aainfo, aasavefont, aatest - aalib example programs

SYNOPSIS

       aafire [options]

       aainfo [options]

       aasavefont [options] file_name variable_name long_name short_name

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the aafire, aainfo, aasavefont, and aatest programs.

       All of these programs exist to demonstrate the capabilities of the aalib library, an ASCII art library.

       aafire displays burning ASCII art flames.

       aainfo  displays  information  about  what drivers aalib will use for the display, keyboard, and mouse, and what parameters, such as screen
       size those drivers will use.

       aasavefont saves a font to a file.

       aatest tests the capabilities of aalib.

NAME

       aaflip - An ASCII art video player

SYNOPSIS

       aaflip [-abcfv] [-n number] [-s delay]

DESCRIPTION

       aaflip is an ASCII art video player which supports the fli and flc formats.

       fli files are limited to a resolution of 320x200 pixel, while flc files can have any resolution.

       The  default method of playing is to load the first frame of the animation sequence and display it. After this the remainder of the file is
       loaded into memory, and the animation starts. The animation ends when q or ctrl-c is pressed.

OPTIONS

       -a     Remove frames from memory after processing. Using this option leaves more memory for other processes, but relies on the buffer cache
	      for continuous animation.

       -b     Process  frames immediately as they are loaded. When using this option the animation frames are shown as soon as the player has read
	      them, so you don't have to wait until the entire file has been read. The disadvantage is that the animation  becomes  jumpy  if  the
	      speed set by the animation is higher than the speed of loading.

       -c     Keep the screen black while loading the animation. This conflicts with option -b, which can give interesting results.

       -f     Switch off clock synchronization. Animation will run as fast as possible.

       -v     Show information on flic file.

       -n number
	      Play the animation sequence number times.

       -s delay
	      Set delay between frames to delay milliseconds. Option -s 0 is the same as -f.
