Syntax

The syntax for lolcat calls is:

lolcat{options}(params)

@lolcat{options}(params)

Description

The lolcat function is for outputting text with rainbow colours to the console with a linebreak automatically added to the end, it takes an aribtrary number of parameters (it is similar to console except with rainbows). You can use endl as a parameter for flushed line breaks, \n for unflushed.

Note: There is a modified version of my lolcat-cc in-built in to Nift which has a taste of what other platforms can do for Windows, however you can use lolcat with quite a few different lolcat implementations installed on your machine. It is available for:

• FreeBSD (ports, fast C implementation)
• Linux (, , , , Rust implementation)
• OSX (, , fast C implementation)

Note: If you want multiple lolcat calls to print to the console without being interrupted by output from threads building other files then use console.lock and console.unlock.

Options

The following options are available for lolcat calls:

f++ example

Example of lolcat being used with f++:

:=(int, i=12)
:=(string, str="hello")
console.lock
lolcat("i: ", i)
lolcat(str, ", world!")
lolcat("first line", endl, "second line")
lolcat{block}
{
	first line
	second line
	third line
}
console.unlock

n++ example

Example of lolcat being used with n++:

@:=(int, i=12)
@:=(string, str="hello")
@console.lock
@lolcat("i: ", i)
@lolcat(str, ", world!")
@lolcat("first line", endl, "second line")
@lolcat{block}
{
	first line
	second line
	third line
}
@console.unlock
