COBOL DVD Thingy

This program is a terminal screensaver for Linux and similar systems that displays a moving DVD logo similar to the ones you might see in a DVD player.

Why COBOL? I wanted to learn COBOL, because why not, and I had the idea to make this with it.

How to build

You will need the GnuCOBOL (https://gnucobol.sourceforge.io) compiler and make. There is a flake.nix you can use with nix develop path:. to get them.

Then, run the following command in the project directory:

make

The executable will be named cobol-dvd-thingy.

Installation

If you would like to install it, you do so with the following make command:

make install

You can also install it with Nix from the NUR (https://github.com/nix-community/NUR) with the following attribute:

nur.repos.ona-li-toki-e-jan-Epiphany-tawa-mi.cobol-dvd-thingy
