tslime v0.1.2

Windows distribution fix.

Fixed

• Windows release binary is now statically linked against the MSVC C runtime
  (+crt-static). The previous build dynamically linked vcruntime140.dll, so
  tslime.exe failed to launch on a clean Windows without the VC++ 2015–2022
  redistributable — silently, with no error, making tslime appear to do
  nothing. This restores the single-static-binary guarantee on Windows.
• README Windows install snippet now handles an unset user PATH (avoids
  writing a leading ;).

tslime v0.1.1

Distribution and release-pipeline fixes.

Changed

• Linux release binary is now statically linked (musl target), so the single
  tslime-linux-x86_64 download runs on any x86_64 Linux distribution
  regardless of glibc version.
• Install documentation now leads with cargo install and a Homebrew tap;
  see the README for per-platform paths.

Fixed

• macOS distribution: prebuilt macOS binaries are no longer published (the
  previous one was Gatekeeper-blocked and mislabeled as x86_64 while actually
  being arm64). Install on macOS via brew install tamirelazar/tslime/tslime
  or cargo install tslime, both of which avoid Gatekeeper.

Added

• Homebrew tap tamirelazar/homebrew-tslime (source build).
• One-paste install blocks for Linux and Windows in the README: they fetch the
  latest release binary, install it to a user directory, put it on PATH, and
  (on Windows) clear the Mark-of-the-Web so SmartScreen stays quiet.
• Nix flake: nix run github:tamirelazar/tslime runs tslime ephemerally without
  installing; nix build and nix profile install are also supported.
• Docker image on GHCR: docker run --rm -it ghcr.io/tamirelazar/tslime runs
  tslime ephemerally without installing (published on release; linux/amd64).

tslime v0.1.0

First public release of tslime — a lightweight terminal screensaver that grows Physarum polycephalum (slime mold) transport networks in your terminal.

Install

cargo install tslime

Or download a prebuilt binary below (Linux / macOS / Windows, x86_64) and run it directly.

tslime -S          # screensaver mode
tslime --help      # all options

Highlights

• Agent-based Physarum simulation (Jones 2010) with 31 presets and live runtime controls
• Terminal rendering in half-block, ASCII, braille, quadrant, shade, points, and sculpted charsets; 22 OKLch perceptual color palettes
• Screensaver and interactive modes — pause, restart, cycle presets/palettes on the fly
• Custom keybinds via ~/.config/tslime/keybinds.toml; saved configs and custom palettes
• GIF / PNG / WebM export
• No-notifications mode (--no-notifications, toggle Ctrl+N) for a clean field
• Window-frame display modes
• Experimental, feature-gated: multi-species, choir audio, GUI; plus a standalone WASM build
