(thought I'd share that since its raison d'être was to put Asciiquarium there :))

What are those commit messages?

I get "mapfile: command not found"

Did you see the library of viz? https://github.com/attogram/bash-screensavers/blob/main/libr...

My favourite API: lov_die_with_honor()

(at least when running in docker, maybe that's the bottleneck, but I hesitated to run this on my machine directly)

Screensavers are a lost art. I still enjoy them, but at some point we just gave up on them. In the era of CRTs they had a practical purpose (they're screen savers, after all), but modern OLED displays also suffer from burn-in for which screensavers would be useful. My enjoyment is purely aesthetic, though. Sometimes I just want to have something pleasing to glance at in the background, instead of a black screen.

Nowadays most operating systems and desktop environments don't even support them. The state of the art on Linux still seems to be `xscreensaver`, which does have many great ones, but the collection is static, and most of it is visually stuck in the 90s. I wouldn't even try getting it to run on Wayland, and when I last looked into it, it required some hacks and 3rd-party tools.

Also, I've always found the feature of screen locking and screen saving to be orthogonal. Often I want to see pretty graphics without locking my screen, and viceversa.

First feature request: allow disabling all the `tput setab 0` calls throughout the codebase. This may make screensavers look weird on white terminals but should improve them for anyone using non-black-but-dark terminal themes.

A lot of screensavers, even historically, forget the original purpose of what "saving" your screen means.

Also, found one of the easter eggs!

    #!/usr/bin/env bash

    _cleanup_and_exit() {
      tput cnorm
      tput sgr0
      clear
      exit 0
    }

    trap _cleanup_and_exit SIGINT

    while true; do
      width=$(tput cols)
      height=$(tput lines)

      tput setab 0
      clear
      tput civis

      x=$((RANDOM % width + 1))
      y=$((RANDOM % height + 1))
      color_code=$((RANDOM % 256))

      printf "\e[${y};${x}H\e[38;5;${color_code}m"

      sleep 1
    done
