NMS is a terminal-based text scrambling program written in Go. It reads in text, scrambles the characters, displays the scrambled text, then reveals the original text character-by-character in a decryption animation.
- Scrambles text by swapping each character with a random printable ASCII character
- Can read text from standard input, files, or display a hardcoded "Sneakers" screen
- Reveals text slowly in a decryption animation
- Customizable delay between reveal steps
- Runs in a terminal using github.com/gdamore/tcell for terminal control
nms [options] [filename]
Options:
-delay=<ms> Set delay in ms between reveal steps (default 5)
-sneakers Display the 'Sneakers' screen
-version Print version information
If no filename is provided, NMS will read from standard input.
Use -sneakers to display the hardcoded "Sneakers" screen from the movie as an example.
To build NMS, you will need:
- Go 1.12 or higher
- github.com/gdamore/tcell
- github.com/acarl005/stripansi
Run:
go build nms.go
This will produce an executable called nms.
$ nms -delay 10 -sneakers
This will display the "Sneakers" screen and use a 10ms delay between reveal steps.
Press any key to exit when done.
