It has, however, become very widely adopted and is available as a package on most Linux distributions. CADUBI is an application written in Perl that allows you to draw text-based images that are viewable on typical unix-based consoles. Usually the applications that emulate these consoles support various text modes, such as background and foreground colors, bold, and inverse. This text art, commonly called \"ASCII art,\" is used in various places such as online BBSes, email and login prompts. Installation Homebrew: brew install cadubi Debian and Ubuntu: apt-get install cadubi From source: Perl 5.002 or later Term::ReadKey Perl module Usage CADUBI has a 'pen' which describes the current mode. Properties of the pen are the painting character, foreground color, background color, bold, inverse, and blink. Whenever you paint or use the text mode, the characters drawn on the screen will have the properties of the pen. The current mode of the pen is shown at the bottom of the console and is what will be drawn on screen when you paint. Move around the cursor with the i , j , k and l keys. Holding down shift and typing these keys will move the cursor five spaces instead of one. Pressing return/enter will move the cursor down one line and all the way to the left of the console.
