Let's have some command line fun with Node.js :

  1. Install colors: npm install -g colors 

  2. Install cfonts: npm install -g cfonts 

  3.  Link colors and cfonts  npm link colors and npm link cfonts 

  4. Save the following code as love.js

  5. Run love.js:  node love.js 

  6. Output

var colors = require('colors');

const CFonts = require('cfonts');


interval = 4000
for(i=1;i<20;i++){
    setTimeout(d1,i*interval);
    setTimeout(d2,i*interval+(interval/5));
    setTimeout(d3,i*interval+(2*interval/5));
    setTimeout(d4,i*interval+(3*interval/5));
    setTimeout(d5,i*interval+(4*interval/5));
}


function d1(){
 console.log('\x1Bc');
 d0('green')
}

function d2(){
console.log('\x1Bc');
    d0('blue')
 }

function d3(){
console.log('\x1Bc');
    d0('red')
 }

function d4(){
console.log('\x1Bc');
    d0('yellow')
 }

function d5(){
console.log('\x1Bc');
    d0('magenta')
 }


function d0(col1){

CFonts.say('    LOVE     ', {
    font: 'block',              // define the font face
    align: 'left',              // define text alignment
  //  colors: ['red'],         // define all colors
    colors: [col1],         // define all colors
    background: 'transparent',  // define the background color, you can also use `backgroundColor` here as key
    letterSpacing: 1,           // define letter spacing
    lineHeight: 1,              // define the line height
    space: true,                // define if the output text should have empty lines on top and on the bottom
    maxLength: '0',             // define how many character can be on one line
