# Textereo: ASCII stereogram generator in AWK
# Usage: [busybox] awk -f textereo.awk map.txt
# Map format:
# First line: [desired width] [maxpattern length]
# Second line: alphabet (allowed characters to generate patterns from)
# Next H lines: depth map, W digits from 0 to 7 without spaces
# You can insert single zeros or empty lines into the map to adjust height
#
# Created by Luxferre in 2023, released into public domain
