Cat2Text-rs

This is a port of Cat2Text to Rust, with extra functionality, better documentation, and support for using it as a library as well.

Base 4 Format

Using the original base4 format, it works like this. First off, each word is equal to a value in base 4:

Value	Cat sound
0	meow
1	mrrp
2	mreow
3	mrow

Then, the text is converted into lowercase, 96 is subtracted from its ASCII value (i.e. "a" (97) -> 1), and it's converted to base 4, which is then replaced by the cat sounds above; Each cat sound is separated by a space (" "), then each word is delimited by a semicolon and a space ("; ").

For example, "i love cats" is translated into:

meow mreow mrrp; meow mrow meow meow mrow mrow mrrp mrrp mreow meow mrrp mrrp; meow meow mrow meow meow mrrp mrrp mrrp meow mrrp meow mrow

Separating out the letters and words:

[ ["meow mreow mrrp"], [ "meow mrow meow", "meow mrow mrow", "mrrp mrrp mreow", "meow mrrp mrrp" ], [ "meow meow mrow", "meow meow mrrp", "mrrp mrrp meow", "mrrp meow mrow" ] ]

Limitations

This currently only supports lowercase text in the latin alphabet without numbers or anything - however, using cat2text::core, you can convert anything to meows, as long as you can put it in integers - which, you can.

TODO

• Add functionality for converting Vec<u8> to cat.
• Add more bases - adaptable base option?
