Liney Christmas Star - James D Jarvis - 12-16-2022
one of my facebook groups has gone insane with christmas stars and somebody posted a much simpler version of this that I just had to dress up and add options to.
press any key for a new Christmas star
press c to copy the values to the clipboard, if you see one you want to try to use elsewhere (for windows users, edit it out if you can't use the clipboard command)
press <ESC> to quit
