Little Termite

Terminate command output, by controlling this little hungry and human-looking termite.

Installation

Using pipx

The easist way to start terminating command output, is to install using pipx:

pipx install havsalt-little-termite

Then, feed little-termite the output of your favorite command!

ipconfig | little-termite

You can also try using other commands like ls, grep and cat. It is more fun when the output contains many lines.

Using git clone and rye

Make sure you have git and rye installed.

Then, run the following steps.

git clone https://github.com/havsalt/little-termite.git
cd little-termite
rye sync
ipconfig | rye run little-termite

You can use a different command other than ipconfig if you wish. Again, it should output a decent amount of lines, so it's more lines to terminate.

Controls

Keyboard controls for moving the little human-looking termite.

• Move sideways using a and d.
• Eat using f.
• Jump using spacebar.
  • Super jump by using shift+spacebar.

To exit the game, use escape.

Rational

This small little command line game was made with my cousin, using charz. charz is my Python library that I made for terminal games. It reached release 0.1.0 on Jun 1, 2025, and we made little-termite to stress test the library, check its capabilities, and uncover some bugs.
