✺ Critter Maker

Design your own pixel critter that prints in the terminal, like Unicorn's. Paint the grid -- each cell is a quarter of a terminal character, so the preview is the literal block characters your shell will print. You paint with two colors, body and accent -- a terminal draws each character in a single color, so every 2×2 block commits to one or the other.

❖ Make it permanent

        

          1 · Hit ❋ Copy terminal-ready print above

          2 · In Terminal, type open -e ~/.zshrc and hit enter -- your
          shell's startup file opens in an editor

          3 · Paste at the very bottom, save, close

          4 · Open a fresh terminal ✺ your critter says hi
        

        
Just want to see it once? Paste it straight into any terminal.
        Already printing something at startup (a hook, like Unicorn)? Add the same line there instead.
