In a similar vein in Emacs: M-x zone Every time you run it, it triggers a random screen saver effect. Fun when it's on a timer and triggers so your work colleagues wonder wth is going on.
dude thanks

#92I integrated this[1] with my MOTD on ssh login.. :) With random effect each time. 1: https://keeb.dev/static/login.mp4
Cool use case! How do you make it choose a random effect?

#94This is amazing! Please never ever use it in production.
Agreed. It's not nearly as battle-tested as key operations tooling like `sl` and `gti`.
Re: TTE: Terminal Text Effects
#95This is awesome. I'm like 99% sure I saw some of these effects in some of my late-80's CRPG type games :) It looks like the color gradient is per-pixel, not per-character. Would anyone have any idea how the package does that?
Barring a zoomed screenshot that shows otherwise, I'm quite certain it's per-character. Operating in true color mode is what makes the color transitions smooth enough to make the optical illusion work.

#96Can't wait to find these in TV shows!
Yeah, I can see some "hacker" using Decrypt effect.
Re: TTE: Terminal Text Effects
#97Looks amazing! Does anyone know why the "ColorShift" style doesn't animate as shown? When I run this each row cycles through colors from top to bottom, but there is no left to right / right to left color change at all. That's the only style not rendering correctly among 10 different ones I tried. I tried with iTerm2 and Terminal app.
That demo isn't actually the default config. Here's how you can recreate it.
ll | tte colorshift --travel --travel-direction radial --loop

#98"Why's everyone upvoting some article about text? ... OMG I LOVE THIS."
That's brilliant. I love it. This is the kind of whimsical thing done purely for the love of it that makes my day.

#99Earlier quoted context omitted.
I can tell I'm too old now because I expected the Matrix projection to be in the first four examples and it's not even on the page.
I was hoping for the "no more secrets" effect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5bAa6gFvLs
The decrypt effect is a faithful recreation of that exact scene at the 45 second mark. Just different colors, which can be set.
Here it is with adjusted colors:
ls -latr | tte decrypt --ciphertext-colors 808080 --final-gradient-stops 1e90ff
