# Draw-box.sh: Drawing a box using ASCII characters.
# Script by Stefano Palmeri, with minor editing by document author.
# Minor edits suggested by Jim Angstadt.
# Used in the ABS Guide with permission.
######################################################################
### draw_box function doc ###
# The "draw_box" function lets the user
#+ draw a box in a terminal.
#
# Usage: draw_box ROW COLUMN HEIGHT WIDTH [COLOR]
# ROW and COLUMN represent the position
#+ of the upper left angle of the box you're going to draw.
# ROW and COLUMN must be greater than 0
#+ and less than current terminal dimension.
# HEIGHT is the number of rows of the box, and must be &#62; 0.
# HEIGHT + ROW must be &#60;= than current terminal height.
# WIDTH is the number of columns of the box and must be &#62; 0.
# WIDTH + COLUMN must be &#60;= than current terminal width.
#
# E.g.: If your terminal dimension is 20x80,
# draw_box 2 3 10 45 is good
# draw_box 2 3 19 45 has bad HEIGHT value (19+2 &#62; 20)
# draw_box 2 3 18 78 has bad WIDTH value (78+3 &#62; 80)
#
# COLOR is the color of the box frame.
# This is the 5th argument and is optional.
# 0=black 1=red 2=green 3=tan 4=blue 5=purple 6=cyan 7=white.
# If you pass the function bad arguments,
#+ it will just exit with code 65,
#+ and no messages will be printed on stderr.
#
# Clear the terminal before you start to draw a box.
# The clear command is not contained within the function.
# This allows the user to draw multiple boxes, even overlapping ones.

# Goals of the script:
# playing with escape sequences and terminal colors.
#
# Exercise:
# Edit the script to make it run less randomly,
#+ set up a fake betting shop . . .
# Um . . . um . . . it's starting to remind me of a movie . . .
#
# The script gives each horse a random handicap.
# The odds are calculated upon horse handicap
#+ and are expressed in European(?) style.
# E.g., odds=3.75 means that if you bet $1 and win,
#+ you receive $3.75.
#
# The script has been tested with a GNU/Linux OS,
#+ using xterm and rxvt, and konsole.
# On a machine with an AMD 900 MHz processor,
#+ the average race time is 75 seconds.
# On faster computers the race time would be lower.
# So, if you want more suspense, reset the USLEEP_ARG variable.
