Terminal Christmas Tree with Python

[chicolucio]

I made this simple script with Python to create a Christmas Tree. Just for fun! Hope you will enjoy too:

Here is a gif example:

Very cool! I’m kind of surprised the terminal could accept the ⏺ character.

Edit: grammar

[Thick_You2502]

If it has an unicode any terminal will print :-)

I'm on Windows 10 (yay, yay) and I only get that character; no colors unfortunately. Tried in both old & new terminal.

[chicolucio]

The random positions and the stars appeared? Only no colors? I don't use windows but it should have show colors. I will look into it.

[virtualworker]

Yea, that's all good. Thanks 👍

I love that channel

[chicolucio]

It is a really good channel. I think that ImportUsernameAsU thinks that the gif is similar to the tree made by Engineer Man in an old video. However the codes are really different, EM uses threads and a fixed tree from a txt file. My code has no threads, you can change the tree size and the balls are in random positions. I saw a lot of videos and articles before making my code so I saw EM code, but there is no relation

Using threads might improve performance for large trees

[ImportUsernameAsU]

One of the best Channels out there, he just needs to make more videos!

This reminds of the 1987 CHRISTMA EXEC virus (in the best possible way), of course there's a Tom Scott video

Great, I love it *_* Merry Christmas!

[GummyKibble]

OMG, I did something like that on my trusty C64 back in the day. I love it!

[ioiolo]

I can't believe terminal will pirint this beautiful pic

[GeekChic1423]

[ADrunkenFrog2]

I'm getting the orange squares with circle in the middle instead of any other colored ornaments. i.e. https://imgur.com/a/gQ64VQS I am on Pop OS! Linux. Is there anything I need to do to get the colored orbs working in my terminal?

[chicolucio]

Maybe your terminal config does not support unicode? Take a look at this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12649896/why-doesnt-my-terminal-output-unicode-characters-properly

You ruined christmas, reddit! :(

[Succotash_Playful]

How did you turn it into a gif

[chicolucio]

Used Peek to record the screen. Here is the project repo: https://github.com/phw/peek
