What is asciiartsy?

Asciiartsy is a small little script I wrote to run VT100 animations in the background on a terminal. Below you can see a GIF of it in action. You can add your own custom VT100 animations.

Requirements

• macOS or Linux (pv must be installed on macOS)

• python3

Installation

If you would like to set the speed of the animations set an AA_SPEED Environment Variable in your shell config file.

Example:

# Bash
echo "export AA_SPEED=2000" >> ~/.bash_rc

# Zsh
echo "export AA_SPEED=2000" >> ~/.zshrc

Start the script by running:

python3 start.py

Simple as that!
