This is an updated version of the dotacat crate. The original crate's name was
a pun on lolcat (because DOTA is a similar game to LOL), so I named mine "DOTA 2 cat" :L
The only real difference between this crate and the original is that I've updated the dependencies, modernised it to
use Rust edition 2021, and fixed an issue with a breaking change in clap.
dota2cat can be installed with cargo, Rust's package/dependency manager:
bash
cargo install dota2cat
To more easily facilitate replacing dotacat with dota2cat, the executable is still named dotacat.
The original README continues below.
dotacat is meant to be a replacement to lolcat. If you're not aware, lolcat is a rather silly program which behaves like cat, but produces a colourful, rainbow output.
Speed!
$ time echo hi | lolcat
real 0m0.422s
user 0m0.393s
sys 0m0.028s
I use lolcat in my .bashrc file, so this amount of time is not ideal for me.
In contrast:
``` time echo hi | dotacat
real 0m0.045s user 0m0.030s sys 0m0.020s
```
Because Dota is better than LoL (According to people - I play neither)
