This tool generates anim GIFs that can be outputted on the 128x40 pixel OLED display of Steelseries keyboards. It creates a scrolling / repeating animation from an arbitrary text input. (Maximum 21x4 characters per screen)
Star Wars crawl text:
Bits:
Math:
Assembly (from MS-DOS source code):
The character set is from the 1982 Kaypro II machines. (I've extracted it from the video ROM.) The input text can contain escape sequences, for example:
\001 + \002 = \007
Use them if one of the characters you typed doesn't render properly, or if you would like to use a special character.
First install the .net core runtime environment, then just pass the
path to the text file as the first parameter, when executing the app
on the command line:
dotnet run samples/bits.txt
It will create an animation in the same folder and with the same name but with '.gif' extension.
