TinySky

A tiny procedural night sky for your terminal.

Because apparently even the night sky can fit in 50 lines of Python.

TinySky generates a new ASCII star field every time it runs. No dependencies, no framework, no build system, no account, no API key. Just Python.

Run

python tinysky.py

Requires Python 3 and approximately one command.

Ideas

TinySky is intentionally tiny, which means there is plenty left to do.

• command-line options
• colored stars
• reproducible skies using seeds
• animated shooting stars
• constellation generation
• SVG or image export
• whatever else you can come up with

Fork it. Break it. Fix it. Add something unnecessarily complicated.

The source is short enough to read. All of it.
