Asciiquarium is a single Perl script that renders an animated ASCII art aquarium in your terminal using Curses and Term::Animation. It is a fun decorative terminal toy rather than a productivity tool.
Use cases
- display an animated aquarium in my terminal
- fun ascii art screensaver for the command line
- entertain myself while coding in a terminal
- show off a cool terminal toy to friends
- decorate my tmux or shell session with sea creatures
When to choose
- you want a lightweight, fun terminal animation with no GUI
- you run Linux or macOS with Perl and Curses available
- you enjoy classic ASCII art toys
When to avoid
- you are on native Windows without Cygwin
- you need a practical or productive terminal tool
- you want a graphical aquarium with real graphics
