Works with some slight modifications under Python3 on windows in the default-cmd as well, but not flicker-free sadly.

I added colorama [0] for ANSI translation, used a new function to get the terminal size cross-plattform [1] and using Python 3 required a) print-functions and b) explicit integer division for values derived from WIDTH/HEIGHT, since the behaviour of / on ints changed)

I made an aquarium for the terminal, written in Python (needs termcolor module to run). It was a project I wrote to help me learn OOP. It randomly generates a unique aquarium ecosystem every time you run it. It adjusts to your terminal window size, so you can run it fullscreen or just have a tiny little aquarium off to the side to keep you company while you work! Try it out, and let me know what you think :)

You could maybe add a gif/video to the readme, especially for us non-mac users. (I think you could use https://asciinema.org/ to create it)

Ah, great idea - Thanks for the link! I didn't know about this!

Other than a slightly buggy top line [1], this seems to work fine in gnome-terminal on Ubuntu.

Really nice work! I'll leave it running when I'm not using the terminal on my side monitor.
