Thanks, those are pretty awesome. Glad I'm not the only one overly nostalgic for these old screensavers. Looks like I misremembered the name though, I'll have to update my documentation.

    Glad you like it. I'm trying to figure out if I can get it to function as a screensaver using xautolock. I just need to figure out how to get it to fullscreen the new terminal window opened by my bash script before running asciiskyline.

    ASCII Skyline - a terminal-based recreation of an old screensaver I loved as a kid (lemm.ee)
     

    I couldn't sleep last night and ended up working on a terminal-based recreation of the old Starry Skyline screensaver we had on our computers when I was a kid (part of the After Dark suite of screensavers). It's been a lot of fun to work on and I'm enjoying thinking of what else I can add to it beyond the simple office windows and stars. I just got finished adding fireworks and I'm real pleased with how they turned out.

    This is my first time working with curses so it's serving as a useful learning experience. Hoping to throw together some TUI utilities once I'm comfortable enough with it.
