Asciiquarium

April 2021 | Sea animation in ASCII art

To get an animation of the sea in ASCII on your terminal, install asciiquarium:

brew install cmatrix

Once installed, restart your terminal and run

asciiquarium

To stop the animation, use Ctrl-C.

So, what do I use this for? Nothing specific! Just enable it and relax! Bonus points if you fool your friends and get them thinking you actually have a fish tank full of fish! I've noticed that I get better results with my non-technical friends!
