bash-screensavers

It is amazing! With some brutal hacks to some array indices, and probably some excessive quoting changes it can work in Bash too: echo -ne '\e[8;32;90;t'; n=20; t=524292; l=$((t-1)); m=$((2\*n-1)); c=0; xs=(1); ys=(1); for ((i=0; i<n*m; i++)); do b=$((l&1)); l=$(((l>>1)^(b*t))); c=$((((c<<1)|b)&m)); if ((i%n==0)); then xs=("$c" "${xs[@]:0:4}"); y=$(( ((xs[4]-xs[0])<<30) - 0x3fffd60f*ys[1] + 0x7d32617c*ys[0] )); y=$((y>>30)); ys=("$y" "${ys[@]:0:1}"); yd=$((120+(y>>24))); printf '\e[48;5;%um ' "$yd"; fi; done This could probably be submitted to https://github.com/attogram/bash-screensavers/blob/main/gall...

I've never seen a repo that invites AI coders and then tells them how to behave [0]. I imagine we'll see more of this in the future. [0] https://github.com/attogram/bash-screensavers/blob/main/AGEN...

Good catch! For folks curious about the rm -rf see https://github.com/attogram/bash-screensavers/blob/main/gall... line 339

How can anyone have a bad day when great projects like this pop up on the front page of HN? Did you see the library of viz? https://github.com/attogram/bash-screensavers/blob/main/libr... My favourite API: lov_die_with_honor()

See the spread-the-word script in https://github.com/attogram/bash-screensavers/tree/main/spot... This script generates a series of shell commands to create a "spotlight" message on the main GitHub repository page. It does this by generating commands that make trivial changes to the top 12 files and directories and then commit those changes with custom messages.

Looks like an attempt to make the main GitHub page (the part above the README) display something interesting. It is messed up now because of further commits, but you can see what it looked like at the time here: https://github.com/attogram/bash-screensavers/tree/a7369a93c...

A github project to collect a bunch of bash-based screensavers/visualizations.
