@typhlosion You're not a REAL terminal wizard until you do it in shell! :P

(just kidding of course, this is pretty sweet! 👍)

@IceWolf do you mean running it using sh, or writing a shell script to do it?

@typhlosion Shell script. How would running a C program in sh be any different than in bash? (:

@IceWolf i have no idea how ANSI escape sequences actually work, so if someone told me sh didn't properly support 24-bit color somehow, i wouldn't be surprised

@typhlosion Escape sequences are literally just strings of characters you print to stdout. It's the terminal that matters, you can do them from any language at all. :3

@IceWolf i mean i know that much, but everything about computers is slightly more arcane than it needs to be, so i have learned to be suspicious always
