Description: ASCIIMATICS
        ===========
        
        Asciimatics is a package to help people create simple ASCII animations using
        curses.  It is licensed under the Apache Software Foundation License 2.0.
        
        It originated from some work that I did on PiConga to create a retro text
        credits roll for the project.  This worked so well, I re-used it for another
        project.  At that point I felt it might be fun to share with others.
        
        
        Why?
        ----
        
        Why not?  It brings a little joy to anyone who was programming in the 80s...
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        To install asciimatics, simply:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ pip install asciimatics
        
        
        How to use it?
        --------------
        
        Create a curses window, create a Screen, put together a Scene using some
        Effects and then get the Screen to play it.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            curses.wrapper(demo)
            def demo(win):
                screen = Screen(win)
                effects = [
                    Cycle(
                        screen,
                        FigletText("ASCIIMATICS", font='big'),
                        screen.height / 2 - 8),
                    Cycle(
                        screen,
                        FigletText("ROCKS!", font='big'),
                        screen.height / 2 + 3),
                Stars(screen, 200)
            ]
            screen.play([Scene(effects, 500)])
