ANSI makes it easy!

lore.ansi makes formatting text output super simple! Lore doesn’t have much of a UI. Text output should be excellent.

lore.ansi.BLACK = 30

If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.

lore.ansi.BLINK = 6

Skies, oceans, infinite depths. The color of hope and melancholy.

lore.ansi.BOLD = 1

For people with a heavy hand.

lore.ansi.CONCEAL = 8

Why would you do this‽ Your attempt has been logged, and will be reported to the authorities.

lore.ansi.CYAN = 36

Only printers who prefer CMYK over RGB would name this color. It’s BLUE stripped of soul, injected with 10,000 volts. A true Frankenstein’s monster.

You get 3 guesses what this color is, and the first 2 don’t count.

lore.ansi.FAINT = 2

For people with a light touch.

lore.ansi.GREEN = 32

The most refreshingly natural color. Growth and softness.

lore.ansi.INVERSE = 7

lore.ansi.ITALIC = 3

Are Italian’s emphatic, or is Italy slanted? Etymology is fun.

lore.ansi.MAGENTA = 35

For latin salsa dresses with matching shoes. Also, the radiant color of T brown dwarf stars as long as sodium and potassium atoms absorb the GREEN light in the spectrum.

lore.ansi.RED = 31

Hot and loud. Like a fire engine, anger, or you’ve just bitten your cheek for the third time today.

lore.ansi.RESET = 0

Game over!

lore.ansi.STRIKE = 9

Adopt that sense of humility, let other people know you w̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶w̶r̶o̶n̶g learned from experience.

For sadists looking to cause seizures. Doesn’t work except on masochist’s platforms.

lore.ansi.UNDERLINE = 4

It’s got a line under it, no need for a PhD here.

lore.ansi.WHITE = 37

The sum of all colors, to the point there is no color left at all. Floats nicely in the abyss.

lore.ansi.YELLOW = 33

Daisies and deadly poison dart frogs. Salted butter and lightning. Like scotch filtered through gold foil.
