soft clouds drift across your terminal...

1. Install the npm package: npm install -g clouddrift
2. Run clouddrift from your terminal: clouddrift
3. Enjoy peaceful clouds for a while...
4. End the animation with Ctrl + C

(Note: If you didn't install globally (with the -g flag), you might need to run with npx clouddrift, or check your path.)

clouddrift generates a simplex-noise grid to populate its clouds

designed for terminals with truecolor (like Windows powershell), clouddrift uses a colour palette loosely inspired by catppuccin's 'mocha'

clouddrift assumes you already have node/npm installed and uses the following npm dependencies:

• chalk - for styling
• simplex-noise.js - for creating a 3D noise space to generate the clouds
• supports-color - checks your terminal for truecolor support

(if they're not already on your system, the npm install process will add them for you.)

This is designed to run on a terminal that supports Truecolor, such as Windows'. Some terminals like the mac OS terminal have a more limited colour palette, so I've had to change the palette to more basic colours.

I hope to add some more customisation in future:

• varied/custom palettes and colour schemes
• cloud control -- parameter control for cloud size and density
• date/clock
