About:
Lavat is a terminal-based visualization tool that simulates a classic lava lamp using the metaballs algorithm. It generates fluid, organic animations directly in the command line interface, creating a mesmerizing visual effect. This lightweight utility provides an aesthetic enhancement for terminal environments without requiring a graphical user interface.
Key Features:
  • Real-time metaballs simulation in terminal
  • Lightweight and dependency-free
  • Configurable colors and animation parameters
  • ASCII/Unicode rendering for broad terminal compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Terminal aesthetic enhancement and decoration
  • Screen sharing background visual
  • Relaxing visual feedback during long-running processes
Alternatives:
  • cmatrix – Matrix-style terminal animation instead of fluid simulation
  • hollywood – Creates fake hacking terminal with multiple panes
