you have no idea how long it took me to get bash not to mess up the prompt length calculation. you see that line wrap on the long echo command input? that was a LOT OF EFFORT

i made a single-line version as well, if you prefer something less ostentatious

pastebin.com/XvfB5kn4 here's the code! stick it at the end of your .bashrc file if you wanna try it. i also made it so you can set SMOLFACE=1 or SMOLFACE=0 to turn on or off the small version

it could definitely be cleaner but if i wanted this to be Product-Quality Code it'd be patreon exclusive or something

i have been made aware (thru experimentation on my work laptop) that this doesn't work properly in conjunction with modern shell features of pressing up and tab and whatnot to autofill commands

oh well. i have more ideas for silly prompt stuff

Follow

update: i got the terminal prompt screenfaces working properly (even the two-line one!) with the help of @bossposs's advice. the dream lives on
