Allows for quick and easy creation of text-based slides for presentations

Slider is a simple Ruby module to allow a presenter to create and view a slideshow using only a terminal emulator. It requires the use of the console application 'figlet' to draw the fancy headings.

Configuration:

  • Set the # of columns in your terminal window (default is 80). set_columns 105

  • Set the # of rows in your terminal window (default is 24). set_rows 30

  • Set the FIGlet font of choice. See the FIGlet man page for more info. set_figlet_font 'bubble'

Create slides:

  • Set the header (first argument), and sub-points (subsequent arguments) each separated by a comma.

slide "Slider", "It's cool!"

Run the show:

start_slideshow
