This was tricky to do!

Tricky because:
Probably the program works if "$CONSOLE:ONLY" is added at the top.
I had written a similar program that does random ASCII art business for a few seconds and then scrolls right to left. It involved using those total-diagonal characters but I created them all for my program out of raster techniques. My work looked funnier than the screenshot above presents, which is near perfect although a bit too thin for some people.
Tricky because:
- was using Slackware Linux clone,
- used MATE Terminal for display,
- used Freebasic to make sure it could do Unicode,
- used Gucharmap to figure out QB64-AS-INTEGER range Unicode character codes and turn them into UTF-8,
- has no desktop "screenshooter" and therefore had to write a "bash" script, and execute that, which runs the executable created by Freebasic and then "scrot" to create the screenshot.
