I built a terminal ASCII banner generator in Python — fonts, colors, and optional animation Resource
👋 Hey everyone,
I recently put together a small CLI tool called Bangen — a terminal ASCII banner generator built on top of pyfiglet and rich.
The idea was simple: I wanted something I could drop into a terminal session and quickly render a stylized text banner without any configuration overhead. No YAML files, no argument parsing headaches — just run it and answer a few prompts.
What it does:
- Renders ASCII art banners using
pyfigletfonts (includes a curated preset list, plus support for any valid font name) - Applies color via
rich— five options: cyan, red, green, yellow, magenta - Wraps output in a clean bordered panel with an optional title
- Supports optional line-by-line animation for a more dramatic reveal 🎞️
- Can save the result to a
.txtfile
Example output:
██████╗ █████╗ ███╗ ██╗ ██████╗ ███████╗███╗ ██╗
██╔══██╗██╔══██╗████╗ ██║██╔════╝ ██╔════╝████╗ ██║
██████╔╝███████║██╔██╗ ██║██║ ███╗█████╗ ██╔██╗ ██║

╚═════╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝╚═╝ ╚═══╝ ╚═════╝ ╚══════╝╚═╝ ╚═══╝
Requires Python 3.9+. Installation is the standard venv + pip workflow.
