This program written in the C language will render random coloured zigzag lines in the terminal, while the font, speed, density and number of lines are fully customizable.

Each line stops once it reaches the edge of the window, only for a new line to begin.

This program was inspired by this bash script:

Haven't used the original but I do enjoy letting pipes-rs run on idle terminals.

I haven't used the rust version, but, with a glance, pretty much the rust replica as well as the c clone I wrote lead to more or less the same outcome as the bash original script. A mesmerizing effect.
