Pre-requisites

  • I have looked for any other duplicate issues
  • I have confirmed the requested feature doesn't exist in the latest version in development

Wanted behavior

I would love a new animation to be added, similar to ASCIIQuarium, so that I can be greeted by a delightful aquatic adventure before logging in. It's my favorite product of ASCII animation.

Sounds difficult, but if this is added, cbonsai and cmatrix would also be cool.

CMatrix already exists as matrix in Ly. Also, I wonder if we couldn't simply create a custom animation like what #719 suggests, instead of hardcoding yet another animation.

Due to limitations in the dur integration and with almost no files to use with it out in the wild, I feel integrating animations like this and starfield still a good idea.

We could always bundle the custom dur file. Though the limitations (like the lack of randomness present in the other animations) could justify indeed a custom implementation.
