trit-text

A 5-trit text format, analogous to 7-bit ASCII

Usage:

var toUnicode = require('trit-text').toUnicode;
var isInverted = require('trit-text').isInverted;
var fromUnicode = require('trit-text').fromUnicode;
var fromEvent = require('trit-text').fromEvent;
var allUnicode = require('trit-text').allUnicode;
var toTritmap9x14 = require('trit-text').toTritmap9x14;

The trit-text codepoints range from -121 to +121, comparable to ASCII 0 to 127.

to/fromUnicode converts between Unicode and trit-text, and isInverted returns whether the character is "inverted"/emphasized (that is, -121 to -1; normal characters are 1 to 121):

toUnicode(42);      // 'a'
fromUnicode('a');   // 42
isInverted(42);     // false
isInverted(-42);    // true

fromEvent(ev) takes a DOM keydown event and returns a representative trit-text character codepoint.

toTritmap9x14(cp) returns a 9x14 tritmap (analogous to bitmap) to graphically represent the given character.

Codepoint reference:

+1 to +121 normal text (ex: black on white, green on black)
-1 to -121 inverted/emphasized (ex: reverse video white on black, red on black)
