π¦ I Built a Living Terminal Animation with Hermes Agent β Here's How It Went.
Aditya Madhok created a terminal animation called Butterfly Garden as part of the Hermes Agent Challenge. The animation features a butterfly interacting with flowers in a simulated environment using Python and ANSI escape codes. Hermes Agent assisted in the development process by providing architectural suggestions and helping to structure the code effectively.
- βͺThe Butterfly Garden animation runs entirely in the terminal without a GUI or browser.
- βͺIt includes a butterfly with a state machine and animated flowers swaying in the breeze.
- βͺHermes Agent played a crucial role in planning and structuring the code for the animation.
