Are you seeking a curious program that does nothing except add a cool factor to your terminal?
You are? Great!
Try aafire – a program that displays ASCII art flames.
Installation
aafire is actually a demo program that shows what is possible with the aalib ASCII art library. We need to install libaa-bin.
sudo apt-get install libaa-bin
On my system, all other dependencies were already present, but if you encounter more requirements, go ahead and install them too.
Burn! Burn! Burn!
In a terminal, enter aafire at the command prompt.
aafire
A second terminal opens. Animated ASCII art flames appear at the bottom and burn from an inexhaustible source of fuel — your electricity.
The flames give the illusion of a burning fire in black and white grayscale — no colored flames. Press any key to exit.
Enjoy the greatness!
