Chad Stride

Like sl & cmatrix, but better.

Features

On call, chad by default strides across your screen once and exits. However, his activity can be changed by the following flags:

• -c [r|g|b|m|c|y]: Change chad's color & enable color changing via keyboard input while running. (thanks @ginglis13!)

• -a SLEEP_TIME: Adjust sleep rate (in nanoseconds). Small number == faster chad. Defaults to 150000.

• -f: Chad ignores signals (thanks @pbui!)

• -b SIZE: Increase spacing of chad by SIZE

• -l: infinite looping

• -s: Chad stays in the center, striding in place.

• -m MESSAGE: Display message at bottom center of screen

• -R: Chad strolls with a rainbow effect

• -p: Chad flips when he hits the edge of the screen
