npm install slowjam
npm install -g slowjam
slowjam = require('slowjam')
jam = new slowjam.SlowJam()
jam.load('/path/to/slowjam-worth-code.js')
jam.play()
slowjam /path/to/slowjam-worthy-code.js
By default, a one second delay is added between each statement.
> jam.slowness = 1000 // 1000 milliseconds, or 1 second
You can speed up the jam by reducing the slowness.
> jam.slowness = 500 // 500 milliseconds, or 0.5 seconds
Or slow your jam way down...
> jam.slowness = 5000 // 5000 milliseconds, or 5 seconds
By default, slowjam logs the statement about to be run to stdout.
> jam.log = true
But you can turn that off, so now your code will run -- slowly, and quietly.
> jam.log = false
