Comfy rain for your console written in C with Ncurses.
You'll need a ncurses library. For Ubuntu packages are: 'ncurses-dev' or 'libncurses-dev'.
For OSX try $ brew install ncurses.
First, download this repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/nkleemann/ascii-rain.git$ cd ascii-rain
To compile and link 'rain':
$ gcc rain.c -o rain -lncurses
Now you can run 'rain' in your current working directory by just executing: ./rain.
I you want to be able to run this program from every directory you have to copy the executable to /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin:
$ cp rain /usr/local/bin/rain
You can get it from the AUR right here.
You'll (Or better, ncurses) need/s a somewhat modern terminal emulator with color support and the ability to hide the cursor. Working examples are:
- iTerm 2 (OSX)
- OSX Terminal
- xfce4-terminal
- terminator
