Text.Zalgo

Provides facilities for generating a wide range of glitched/creepy text through horrifying abuse of diacritics.

Pure interface

zalgo :: RandomGen g => String -> g -> (g, String)

Zalgo the given text using the default zalgo settings and the given generator.

zalgoWith :: RandomGen g => ZalgoSettings -> String -> g -> (g, String)

Zalgo the given text, using the given algorithm settings and generator.

gradualZalgo :: Double -> String -> StdGen -> (StdGen, String)

Gradually zalgo the given string, starting from the given threshold and linearly scaling towards the default zalgo settings.

unZalgo :: String -> String

Exorcise Zalgo from the given string.

Effectful interface

zalgoIO :: String -> IO String

Zalgo the given text using the standard settings and a fresh generator.

zalgoIOWith :: ZalgoSettings -> String -> IO String

Zalgo the given text with the given settings, using a fresh standard generator.

gradualZalgoIOWith :: ZalgoSettings -> Double -> String -> IO String

Zalgo the given text using a fresh random generator, starting after the given fraction of the input string, from there on scaling the zalgo factor linearly towards the given settings.

Printing functions

printZalgo :: String -> IO ()

Print zalgo'd text using the default settings and a fresh default generator.

printZalgoWith :: ZalgoSettings -> String -> IO ()

Print zalgo'd text using the given settings and a fresh random generator.

printGradualZalgo :: Double -> String -> IO ()

Gradually zalgo and print the given text starting at the given threshold. Uses default settings and a fresh system default generator.

Configuration

data ZalgoSettings

maxHeightAt :: ZalgoSettings -> Int -> Int

Maximum number of diacritics above or below a character at the given position of the input string.

Default: const 10

varianceAt :: ZalgoSettings -> Int -> Double

Maximum random variance in height, as a fraction of maxHeight, at the given position of the input string.

Default: const 1

overlayProbabilityAt :: ZalgoSettings -> Int -> Double

Probability of generating an overlay character at the given position of the input string.

Default: const 0.4

defaultZalgoSettings :: ZalgoSettings

The default zalgo settings. Creepy yet readable.
