✨ aemakeflic(1) — General Commands Manual 🎀

okay so bestie, aemakeflic is the tool that turns your aewan doc into an actual animation 🦋 the manual name is aemakeflic and the whole job is "produce an animation from an aewan document" 💖 no cap, it's giving main character energy 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

aemakeflic [-f {less|sh}] [-N] [-b] [-d <delay>] input.ae
[outputfile.ext]

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so this utility makes an ascii animation out of an aewan document 🎬 it can currently slay two formats ✨

first up is a shellscript 🐚 when you run it, it displays the animation 💅

second is a "less movie" 🎞️ which is designed to be "played" in the super popular less output pager 🍓 so the viewer sees the animation as they page down through the file, as long as the window is an appropriate size 🙈

every layer in the aewan document counts as one frame 🧚 layer transparency and compositing are NOT used, so each layer just becomes its own frame, no mixing, no blending, periodt 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -f — picks your output format 🦋 it can be sh for a shellscript or less for a "less movie"
• -N — skips the initial instructions that normally get tucked into the file 🙈 those instructions basically tell the person how to play it, so use this if you don't want them 💅
• -b — turns off color 🩶 only the characters get printed, so it's giving black and white vibes 🖤
• -d delay — sets the gap between frames in milliseconds ⏱️ this only matters for the shellscript format, so it's ignored for less movies 🫶
