    This is Asciiquarium and it’s the one that inspired me to write this in the first place, as its Qt port used to be bundled in KDE 4 and that’s what I used to use as my screensaver back then. So I thought: I could either port it to QML, or… launch the original thing in Konsole and put it there by embedding a Wayland compositor 😄
