Asciiquarium

This application is a wonderful terminal aquarium! How cool is that!
The application is a Perl script that shows fish and other items like sea
monsters scrolling across the screen.

Go to the github page cmatsuoka/asciiquarium.

Install And Run

Containerized

This is my preferred method. It’s just so easy!
Of course you’ll need podman or docker to be installed.
