Glad you like it.

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.

oh boy, everything means something, all the names are taken.

Cheers!

More like something like eye candy, but it can also work like this.

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

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!

Thank you, I will definetely check it out.

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}"

Thanks, any feedback is appreciated.

As a matter of fact it is one of the scripts that I cannot do without, I use it everyday, it is very convenient. But then again I wrote it myself, so I can’t be objective.
