go-rain

This is a very basic implementation of a terminal rain effect in Go using the goterm library.

Inspired by nkleeman's implemenatation in C.

Dependencies

As mentioned above, this program relies on goterm and gchalk to print the rain drops to the terminal. If you decide you want to run the program, it should auto install any dependencies when you perform go run command.

Installation

Download the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/ak-tr/go-rain

Move into directory:

$ cd go-rain

Run:

$ go run main.go

Alternatively, build with:

$ go build

Then, run:

$ ./go-rain

Issues

Currently does not work with standard Windows CMD or Powershell - use some form of terminal emulator like Cmder.

Windows support is unknown, works for some, doesn't work for others.
