About

This program displays an aquarium/sea animation using ASCII art **Usage** There are no command-line arguments. While running: * q: quit * r: redraw (will recreate all entities) * p: toggle pause **Contributors** Pretty much all of the ASCII art was done by Joan Stark: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7373/ Anything that she didn't do, I don't have a source for. **Snap maintainer's note** This is NOT an official distribution of ASCIIquarium, for support on using this snap please refer to the snap's own issue tracker: Issues · brlin-tw/asciiquarium-snap https://github.com/brlin-tw/asciiquarium-snap/issues
