An ASCII art animation library that I am assembling from the ideas in my 2017 opening keynote at the North Bay Python conference:

Scrawler is small, but you can try it out with:
git clone git@github.com:brandon-rhodes/scrawler.git
cd scrawler
python3 -m scrawler.examples.zen
Note that some terminals are better for animation than others.
The venerable xterm is quite poor,
and animations run inside of it will flicker incessantly.
But I have not observed any flickering
when running my animations in a terminal launched with:
xfce4-terminal --hide-menubar
You can run Scrawler’s tests with:
python3 -m unittest discover
