                              Asciiquarium v1.1

                    by Kirk Baucom 

                          http://www.robobunny.com

Asciiquarium is an aquarium/sea animation in ASCII art.

Installation

------------

Asciiquarium is a single perl script, so all you have to do is make sure

it's executable and put it somewhere convenient, like /usr/local/bin or

/usr/local/games.

  Ubuntu

  ------

  Out-of-the-box ubuntu doesn't satisfy the Requirements below, so

  here's how to get them:

  1) Get perl's curses package which is available from apt:

       sudo apt-get install libcurses-perl

  2) Run

       cpan

     at the shell.  Agree to the defaults for everything.

     To leave cpan, type 

       quit

  3) Type

    sudo cpan Term::Animation

Requirements

------------

You must have the Term::Animation module, which you can get from

http://www.cpan.org. The Term::Animation module also requires the Curses

module, which you can also get from CPAN. This program will only run on

platforms that have a Curses library (so it won't work on Windows, but

you might get it to run under cygwin).

Usage

-----

Command line arguments:

	-c	"classic" mode, only show species from Asciiquarium 1.0

While running:

	q	quit

	r	redraw (will recreate all entities)

	p	toggle pause

Contributors

------------

New fish species backported from the Android live wallpaper and

other minor improvements by Claudio Matsuoka.

Pretty much all of the ASCII art was done by Joan Stark:

Anything that she didn't do, I don't have a source for.
