A minimal C++ program that renders the classic Arch Linux logo as an animated colorful ASCII animation in the terminal.

Overview

iusearchbtw is a tiny single-file C++ program:

• main.cpp: the complete source (~340 lines, C++17). It drops the terminal into raw mode, renders an animated, color-cycling Arch Linux ASCII logo, and restores terminal state cleanly on exit (SIGINT / SIGTERM).
• iusearchbtw: a pre-compiled binary for Arch Linux (x86-64), built with g++ -std=c++17 -O2 -Wall -Wextra. Run it directly; no installation required.
• archlogo.txt: a plain-text copy of the logo used by the program.

Usage

Run the pre-compiled binary directly:

./iusearchbtw

Press Ctrl+C to exit — the terminal is restored to its original state.

Compilation

Requires a C++17 compiler (e.g. GCC) and a POSIX terminal. From the source:

g++ -std=c++17 -O2 main.cpp -o iusearchbtw

Or use the included Makefile:

make            # build
make run        # build and run
make clean      # remove the binary
