# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/arimxyer/tma.git
cd tma

# Run the graphical animation (requires raylib)
python -m neon_city

# Run any terminal animation
python ocean_waves/ocean_waves.py
python terminal_cube/terminal_cube.py

# Or use uv for automatic dependency management
uv run ocean_waves/ocean_waves.py

Requirements

• Python 3.12+ (3.10+ for neon_city)
• numpy (all terminal animations)
• raylib, cffi, pillow (neon_city only)

Installation

# Using pip
pip install numpy raylib pillow
