A colourful Chrimbus tree right in your very own CMD
I wrote this yesterday in C#, then decided to try and rewrite it in C.
The tree is generated from a constant height variable and coloured lights are added that flash with colours outside of Windows' cmd colour palette (Pink, orange, every coloured light is outside of the palette).
This is a Windows only program.
It can be compiled very simply with MingW GCC like so: gcc -o tree.exe tree.c -m32 -s
As well as TCC with tcc -o tree.exe tree.c
providing you add the following lines to tcc\lib\kernel32.def
:
GetConsoleScreenBufferInfoEx
SetConsoleScreenBufferInfoEx
Compressing the TCC result with UPX results in a 3.50 KB executable I assume is aligned by 512 B.
❤ Merry Chrimbus ❤
