• Manipulation of structures.

Instructions

• Your project must be written in Go.

• It is recommended that the code present a test file.

• Some banner files with a specific graphical template representation using ASCII will be given. The files are formatted in a way that is not necessary to change them.

  • shadow
  • standard
  • thinkertoy

Banner Format

• Each character has an height of 8 lines.
• Characters are separated by a new line \n.
