This is a really nice, and very compact, way of demonstrating the terminal in action.

I used it to show off my 2002 version of ASCII pacman game, since no one's going to bother compiling it, and it'll eventually end up with bitrot.

You can see me playing it (really badly!) at https://asciinema.org/a/723703

Nice work on the game! The recording shows it off well. Good thinking using asciinema for this kind of thing.

I'd probably be the idiot who types pacman and wonders why it's trying to update my system instead of starting the game.

Love it! The Pacman character animation is great.
Very cool! I'd love to see the code, if it's shareable.
