Compiling

Usage

output | asciirec [args] asciiplay file

Args

-filename - output filename -fps - how many times per second to capture input.
More captures will mean smoother playback, but might be too heavy for slower machines. -maxfs - max size in bytes per frame. Set this higher if your output is spitting out a LOT of text very fast. Side effect: your terminal might not be able to output that much text for the duration of a frame.
