"Moonbirds at Home" is a NFT project launched by @tank in 2023.

It was a low-res, pixel art version of the Moonbirds by Proof collection. I love the artwork, really, really good, and opinionated. Not easy when working with a 16x16 grid (and most of them use less than 8x16! 

Moombirds were released under CC0.

- Can I have a Moonbird, mom?
- No, honey, we have Moonbirds at home.

Later, Proof turned against the project for using the term "Moonbird", and they had to change it to "Moombirds".

Anyway, I decided to take this one step further, and convert the pixel art to ANSI-art: text files with ANSI codes that when displayed on a terminal, the result is the original image.

I also put together "moomsay", a cowsay-like CLI that uses the ANSI-art versions. 

Install from source, or using brew. https://github.com/vrypan/moomsay

Enjoy!

This was a fun weekend project! There is so much good pixelart out there, especially in NFT collections, that can be converted to ANSI and make our terminals more pleasant.
