Linux script to create colorful 2013 on the terminal

Here is a script with which you can create the number 2013, on your terminal using any character of your choice. The colors of the numbers will change randomly on every run of hte script.

2013.sh:

#!/bin/bash str_dwn() { rows=$1 s_start=$2 char=$4 str_st_row=$3 rows_end=$((str_st_row+rows)) for((i=str_st_row;i<rows_end;i++)) do tput cup $i $s_start printf "$char " done echo"" } backslash() { b_st_row=$1 b_st_cols=$2 b_char=$3 b_r_end=$((b_st_row + 5 )) for((p=b_st_row;p<b_r_end;p++)) do tput setaf $4 tput cup $p $b_st_cols printf "$b_char " ((b_st_cols++)) done echo"" } forward() { f_st_row=$1 f_st_cols=$2 f_char=$3 f_r_end=$((f_st_row + 5)) for((i=f_st_row;i<f_r_end;i++)) do tput cup $i $f_st_cols printf "$f_char " ((f_st_cols--)) done echo"" } horizontal() { hrow=$2 hstart=$1 hcols=$3 char=$4 end=$((hstart + hcols)) for((i=hstart;i<=end;i++)) do tput cup $hrow $i printf "$char" done echo"" } gen_rand() { num1=$1 if [ $num1 -eq 0 ] then temp=$(($RANDOM % 2)) rand=$((temp + 2)) else temp=$(($RANDOM % 5)) rand=$((temp + num1)) fi } two() { hstart_2=$1 hrow_be=$2 hcols_2=$3 char=$4 color=$5 set_color horizontal $hstart_2 $hrow_be $hcols_2 "$char" st_row_2=$((hrow_be+1)) f_st_cols_2=$((hstart_2+hcols_2)) forward $st_row_2 $f_st_cols_2 "$char" $color hstart_2_lo=$start hrow_2_lo=$((hrow_be+6)) hcols_2_lo=5 horizontal $hstart_2_lo $hrow_2_lo $hcols_2_lo "$char" } zero() { set_color hstart_0=$((f_st_cols_2 +4)) hcols_0=5 horizontal $hstart_0 $hrow_be $hcols_0 "$char" str_dwn_col_0=$hstart_0 str_dwn_row_0=$((hrow_be + 1)) str_dwn 6 $str_dwn_col_0 $str_dwn_row_0 "$char" hstart_0_lo=$((f_st_cols_2 +4)) hcols_0_lo=6 hrow_0_lo=$((hrow_be+6)) horizontal $hstart_0 $hrow_0_lo $hcols_0 "$char" str_dwn_col_rig_0=$((hstart_0 +5)) str_dwn_row_rig_0=$((hrow_be + 1)) str_dwn 6 $str_dwn_col_rig_0 $str_dwn_row_rig_0 "$char" } one() { set_color str_dwn_col_1=$((str_dwn_col_rig_0 + 4)) str_dwn_row_1=$((hrow_be)) str_dwn 7 $str_dwn_col_1 $str_dwn_row_1 "$char" } three() { set_color hstart_3_top=$((str_dwn_col_1 +4)) hcols_3_top=4 hrow_3_top=$((hrow_be)) horizontal $hstart_3_top $hrow_3_top $hcols_3_top "$char" hstart_3_mid=$((str_dwn_col_1 +4)) hcols_3_mid=4 hrow_3_mid=$((hrow_be+3)) horizontal $hstart_3_mid $hrow_3_mid $hcols_3_mid "$char" hstart_3_bt=$((str_dwn_col_1 +4)) hcols_3_bt=4 hrow_3_bt=$((hrow_be+6)) horizontal $hstart_3_bt $hrow_3_bt $hcols_3_bt "$char" str_dwn_col_3=$((hstart_3_bt + 5)) str_dwn_row_3=$((hrow_be)) str_dwn 7 $str_dwn_col_3 $str_dwn_row_3 "$char" } set_color(){ color=$RANDOM color=$((color%6)) tput setaf $color } cols=`tput cols` mid=$((cols/2)) start=$((mid-16)) echo "What character do you want to use" read char tput clear rows=5 begin_row=2 num_cols=6 two $start $begin_row $num_cols "$char" $color;zero;one;three tput setaf 0 tput cup 9 0

Save the script as 2013.sh, give it execute permissions and execute it.

$ chmod 777 2013.sh $ ./2013.sh What character do you want to use *

You sholud see some thing like this on the terminal
