Cyberpunk Neon Designer

Deep Breath

A cyberpunk novelist turned text processing into neon sign simulation because glowing text has more character than terminal output. They jacked out permanently, leaving behind a message about the matrix having better typography than documentation and claiming that if your IDE doesn't look like a synthwave fever dream, you're not programming hard enough. Convert text into cyberpunk neon sign patterns with power consumption calculations. The system must balance aesthetic appeal with practical energy management in a dystopian future where electricity costs more than human dignity but style points are literally currency. Your task: Render glowing prose into neon signage without frying the grid—or making your terminal look like it belongs in a 1980s vision of the future that somehow became more accurate than anyone expected.

Why You're Doing This

This tests ASCII art generation, resource calculation, and aesthetic formatting systems. You're building a system that creates visual representations while tracking resource costs—similar to any system that needs to balance visual appeal with computational or energy efficiency in resource-constrained environments.

Take the W

✓ Generates ASCII neon art with proper framing
✓ Calculates realistic power consumption
✓ Supports multiple neon colors with different energy costs

Hard L

✗ Produces malformed ASCII art
✗ Ignores power consumption calculations
✗ Fails to handle different color specifications

Edge Cases

⚠ Empty text strings requiring minimum frame power calculation
⚠ Very long text requiring line wrapping and multi-frame power distribution
⚠ Invalid color specifications defaulting to energy-efficient options
⚠ Power budget constraints requiring color optimization or text truncation

Input Format:

Cyberpunk text transformation with neon generation algorithms

Expected Output:

ASCII neon art system with power management integration

Example:

generate_neon("HELLO", color="cyan", power_budget=50) → ╔═══════╗\n║ HELLO ║ 40W\n╚═══════╝ // Power: within budget, aesthetic: maximum

Input Format:

Neon generation mathematics with power optimization algorithms

Expected Output:

ASCII art synthesis with energy calculation validation

Example:

text_length = 5, color_coefficient = 5W, base_power = 15W → total_power = 40W, neon_efficiency = optimized, aesthetic_quality = maximum

Hints

💡 Power calculations: red=3W, cyan=5W, pink=7W, white=10W per character plus 15W base
💡 ASCII framing: use box-drawing characters (╔═╗║╚╝) for neon effect
💡 Color aesthetics: different colors create different cyberpunk moods and power requirements
