When you want a font, but are kinda lazy.

       github: sleepinginsomniac/pixelfont
   

2. Run shards install

Usage

require "pixelfont"

font = Pixelfont::Font.new

font.draw("Hello, World!") do |px, py, on|
  my_screen[px, py] = RGB.new(0, 0, 0) if on
end

Cli

shards build --release

# Write text as an array of characters
