AKFAvatar creates an avatar that will appear on the screen and tells things written in a balloon. First the avatar moves slowly in from the right side. Then the balloon is shown and the text becomes visible: letter by letter, in the pace of normal reading.
AKFAvatar can be used to make demos that you can show for example at an information booth or in a shops window. It can be used for making funny tutorials.
The program avatarsay can be used as a fancy text-reader. There is also a script for reading Manpages with avatarsay. Furthermore the program supports some basic commands, so it can be used as a scripting-language. For the GNOME desktop there is also a tool included, which presents a lot of functions of avatarsay in a nice menu.
You can use the avatar library from your own C or C++ programs.
There is also a rather mature Pascal-binding for GNU-Pascal and Free Pascal. It is even possible to add the avatar to programs without any changes to the source code of the pascal program. This works with any program, which uses only the standard input/output; the CRT unit or other output facilities may not be used.
