Alice

My hacky take on run-length encoding. Inspired by this old computer magazine.

Building

You'll need Go and have your GOPATH set.

cd $GOPATH/src
git clone git@github.com:gmoore/alice.git
cd alice
make

Running

./bin/drink --file littlegidding.txt
./bin/eat --file littlegidding.alice --out littlegidding-decompressed.txt

Note that most plain text files get compressed to a larger size than their uncompressed counterparts.
