I haven’t used the rust version, but, with a glance, pretty much the rust replica as well as the c clone I wrote lead to more or less the same outcome as the bash original script. A mesmerizing effect.
Hey, this is your lucky day: You don’t need a github account.
All you need to do to easily install this project is to install git
.
Open a terminal.
If you are using a Debian-based distribution (ubuntu, linuxmint, pop_os etc), copy-paste this command:
sudo apt install git
If you are using an Arch-based distribution:
sudo pacman -S git
From there, follow the instructions on the repo.
Have fun!
If you need any help, do not hesitate to ask for it.
UPDATE: I have just added another animation option (hop), you can check it out here.
Watch the video.
cmatrix
has it’s own features, and has most certainly been an inspiration. At first I made a project as a matix-clone, in c.
Later on I added an extra feature in another project, rendering ascii-art in the foreground. In this step I tried taking a step further on.
oh boy, everything means something, all the names are taken.
I am a linux user, this is a FOSS project that I created.
This is a project that makes my linux experience more pleasant.
Is this a project that might interest other linux users, or might make their experience better?
Judging from the 49 upvotes so far, yes.
Do you share the same opinion? I don’t know.
If not, feel free to downvote, and/or move on.
he he, a gif posted would look yummy I think…
c-squares
was inspired by this bash script:

It also is a variation of another project of mine:
lolwtf
A cron job would not be a bad idea.
But if others take the chance and it sticks around a bit, I’ll come around ;-)
Hey, like many bash scripts, this one is just a glorifief one-liner. But I use it everyday, I am biased, of course, but it is rather convenient, and prevents me from getting lost in rabbit holes.
given the number of stories I’ve heard (and experienced) about Bash’s tricky syntax leading to Bad Things,
Been there, done that!
Fair enough, you do you.
For the record, no rm -r
in the script.
The only rm
command, line 394: rm "${UEBERZUG_FIFO_MAGIC_TAPE}"
Glad you like it.
