illu / pypy Goto Github PK

Everyone wants to make the biggest pyramid possible, but depending on your emoji/text length, it's most of the time necessary to try multiple sizes before reaching the length barely under you chat's characters limit.

We could add a -m / --max-chars that would use the size argument as the maximum possible length of the generated message, and generate the biggest pyramid possible based on that, the emoji length and -s.

Most of the emojis have weird lengths if I remember correctly, but we could at least support "text emoji" (like :+1: here or on Slack) easily.

WDYT @fbarrailla @Illu ?

This should work:

$ pypy --no-space 5 🌴

But it currently returns an error "Size must be a number".

Right now, options must be placed after the size and emoji. It would be nice if they could be written anywhere in the command, like this:

$ pypy --no-space 3 👻 --no-copy 

👻
👻👻
👻👻👻
👻👻
👻

Looks like we run into a heap out of memory error when generating a very large pyramid.
I managed to crash the program with

$ pypy 14000 e

It would be nice to handle this case and display a warning to the user, and ask him to try again with a smaller number.
