Can users run the ghostty demo?

[xstasi]

Hello there!

The ghostty website has a super pretty demo, with an animated ASCII ghost.

Can users run it too on their terminal? is there a secret flag for ghostty to play it?

Thanks!

Afaik there is no built in easter egg, but others have found it interesting too and implemented it stand-alone see awesome-ghostty

I made a version of the Ghostty animation and a Docker image as well.

or #4876 which will will make it built into ghostty (this is not merged yet)

That's awesome! I'd also like to know who made the original video animation and see if they've got more. The Ghost animation is really cute and rad.

The patches are nice but wouldn't it be better to have the demo generated procedurally, as it (most likely) was for the website?

Having hardcoded frames works, but it has technical problems such as not scaling with terminal size, being too small on a high-res screen or cropped when the text is too large.
