Vroom::Vroom - Slide Shows in Vim
> vim slides.vroom # Write Some Slides
> vroom --vroom # Show Your Slides
Ever given a Slide Show and needed to switch over to the shell?
Now you don't ever have to switch again. You're already there.
Vroom lets you create your slides in a single file using a Wiki-like style, much like Spork and Sporx do. The difference is that your slides don't compile to HTML or JavaScript or XUL. They get turned into a set of files that begin with '0', like '03' or '07c' or '05b.pl'.
The slides are named in alpha order. That means you can bring them all into a Vim session with the command: vim 0*. vroom --vroom does exactly that.
Vroom creates a file called slides/.vimrc with many helpful key mappings for navigating a slideshow. See "KEY MAPPINGS" below.
Vroom takes advantage of Vim's syntax highlighting. It also lets you run slides that contain code.
Since Vim is an editor, you can change your slides during the show.
Vroom has a few command line options:
Just running vroom will compiles 'slides.vroom' into slide files.
Compile and start vim show.
Clean up all the compiled output files.
Here is an example slides.vroom file:
---- config
# These are YAML settings for Vroom
title: My Spiffy Slideshow
height: 84
width: 20
# skip: 12 # Skip 12 slides. Useful when making slides.
---- center

use Vroom::Vroom;
print "Hello World";

THE END
Advance one slide.
Go back one slide.
Run current slide as Perl.
Quit Vroom.
Vroom is called Vroom but the module is Vroom::Vroom because the CPAN shell thinks Vroom is Tim Vroom, and it refuses to install him.
Use a command like this to install Vroom:
sudo cpan Vroom::Vroom
