clouddrift v1.0.3

clouddrift

soft clouds drift across your terminal...

install & run

1. Install the npm package: npm install -g clouddrift
2. Run clouddrift from your terminal: clouddrift
3. Enjoy peaceful clouds for a while...
4. End the animation with Ctrl + C

(Note: If you didn't install globally (with the -g flag), you might need to run with npx clouddrift, or check your path.)

about

clouddrift generates a simplex-noise grid to populate its clouds

designed for terminals with truecolor (like Windows powershell), clouddrift uses a colour palette loosely inspired by catppuccin's 'mocha'

requirements

clouddrift uses the following npm packages:

• chalk - for styling
• simplex-noise.js - for creating a 3D noise space to generate the clouds

if they're not already on your system, the install process will add them for you.

"the colours on mac OS terminal look wrong!"

This is designed to run on a terminal that supports Truecolor, such as Windows'. Some terminals like the mac OS terminal have a more limited colour palette, so I've had to change the palette to more basic colours.

roadmap

I hope to add some more customisation in future:

• varied/custom palettes and colour schemes
• cloud control -- parameter control for cloud size and density
• date/clock
