I wanted to add a startup message for my terminal and colorize it with gay; however it appears gay may have some nondeterminism in its output?

Here's an example:

And here's the file used in said example:
woof.txt

I have verified that this happens with other inputs, such as simpler inputs that don't use any fancy unicode, etc.
I have verified that this problem occurs in kitty and alacritty; it seems the common denominator is gay.
Also, this happens for any color scheme, not just -t.

EDIT: Okay so using the interpolation option 2d "fixes" it, though it's still not entirely deterministic:

I'd like to be able to download this (and perhaps add it to nixpkgs), but there's no license listed! Could you add a LICENSE file with your favorite in there and list it in the README as well?

Add option to use just base 16 colors of terminal, thanks!

lolcat maps its rainbow gradient into the 2d dimensions of the terminal smoothly, so that neighbouring lines get similar colours. For example (comparison):

It would be nice to do the same thing lolcat does, to have it look something like this instead:

This probably means switching from the generator-based rgb_gen to some sort of function of terminal coodinates.

gay men
aromantic

etc

instructions unclear, i am now a transfem :3

Installed via pip3 install --user gay, then ran gay -h | gay and got the following trace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/duncan/.local/bin/gay", line 6, in <module>
    from dataclasses import dataclass
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dataclasses'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/duncan/.local/bin/gay", line 6, in <module>
    from dataclasses import dataclass
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dataclasses'

So I went ahead and installed dataclasses with pip3 install --user dataclasses, which fixed it.

Ce soir y a le swatt chez toi sale batard ont va te retrouver j'vais te faire bouffer le béton sale pute

Some of the color schemes fade to white, which makes the characters blend with lighter backgrounds. Maybe instead of fading to white, they could fade to black?

Can you please tag releases? It would make it easier to package in nixpkgs and other package managers.

Thanks!

gay doesn't support changing colors for colored output, see example below

normal:

lolcat:

gay:

Could you add support for this?

Thank you xoxo

When just using the command 'gay' alone, with specific flag arguments (when you call without -f), with colour arguments, and with interpolation arguments the command will hang indefinitely. I know its not the correct use but having something to error it out, or have it randomly print a flag, would be beneficial.
Any combination of those arguments used without -f or a input command, such as 'foo | gay' will hang until user presses ctrl+c.

*btw I love this so much, thank you <3
