This is actually useful for teaching, thank you! Sometimes junior devs get confused seeing the clear command at work, thinking I opened a new terminal window.

Having a small (fun!) animation actually makes it, um, clearer what's happening.

I don't tend to type `clear`; I just press Ctrl-L, which clears the screen if typed at the start of a prompt. Quicker, and doesn't leave `clear` commands in your history.
- cantSpellSober 3y agoYep, same problem there, I have to explain why the screen is empty. Clear UI informs the user when the information has changed. When I'm presenting they can't see me press a command, but they can see a fun Pac-Man.
