I like how the seaweed is randomly placed, and the fish are randomly colored. I like it, wish it could be my screensaver.

This is a good reminder of why no one uses ANSI graphics any more. For a bit of nostalgia though, you might want to give it a try. Actually, no.

I found the source code to this a little while ago. I thought it was long gone. It was sitting on an old backup CD that I thought I had destroyed.
