This project is an ASCII art program implemented in Go. It takes a string as input and outputs a graphic representation of the string using ASCII characters. The output resembles the input string with ASCII characters.

• main.go
• testfile
• go.mod
• shadow.txt
• standard.txt
• thinktoy.txt
• printart.go
• readbyline.go
• readtxtfile.go

• Handles input with numbers, letters, spaces, special characters, and newlines.
• Supports various graphical templates using ASCII characters.
• Written in Go with adherence to good practices.
• Includes test files for unit testing.

The ASCII banner files included in the project have specific graphical representations formatted in ASCII. Each character has a height of 8 lines, and characters are separated by a newline (\n) character.

The following banner formats are included:

• shadow
• standard
• thinkertoy

To run the program, use the following command:

go run . "<your_string>"

For example:

go run . "Hello"

Here are some example outputs generated by the program:

 _    _          _   _          
| |  | |        | | | |         
| |__| |   ___  | | | |   ___   
|  __  |  / _ \ | | | |  / _ \  
| |  | | |  __/ | | | | | (_) | 
|_|  |_|  \___| |_| |_|  \___/  
                                
                                
 _______   _                           
|__   __| | |                          
   | |    | |__     ___   _ __    ___  
   | |    |  _ \   / _ \ | '__|  / _ \ 
   | |    | | | | |  __/ | |    |  __/ 
   |_|    |_| |_|  \___| |_|     \___| 
                                       

Only standard Go packages are used in this project.
