cool-old-term - This retro styled Terminal Emulator could be the coolest we've seen yet!

[simonlang]

yes it's incredibly cool it not just emulates the colors and fonts but also the screen flickering :woot:

sudo apt-get install git build-essential qmlscene qt5-qmake qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev qtdeclarative5-controls-plugin qtdeclarative5-qtquick2-plugin libqt5qml-graphicaleffects qtdeclarative5-dialogs-plugin qtdeclarative5-localstorage-plugin qtdeclarative5-window-plugin

All the important dependencies are now installed. Compile and install 'cool-old-term' in Ubuntu 14.04 by using the following commands.

git clone https://github.com/Swordifish90/cool-old-term.git
cd cool-old-term
cd konsole-qml-plugin
qmake && make && make install
cd ..
./cool-old-term

 

it can also do different colors and probably more

This has its technical merit, but I must remind you that we evolved from these ###### terminals because they where ######.

This is screwomorphism at its worst.

Oh lordie, no thanks, I deep-fried my eyes plenty back in the 70's and 80's on the real thing lol. They need to add a gas plasma display.
