I’m not the original creator, original work mtoyoda/sl.
It draws a “steam locomotive” (sl) across the screen when you accidentally type sl instead of ls.
A friend showed it to me, and I oddly became obsessed. Added train cars. Ported it to windows, translated to rust, zig, back to rust. Building in WASM to have a web version that my son now demands I show him whenever he sees my phone (he’s 2 and loves trains), vibe coded offline support for toddler emergencies.
The classic Unix prank that punishes your ls typos with a steam locomotive chugging across your terminal — because muscle memory needs consequences, and those consequences should involve ASCII trains.
Key features:
- 🚂 A glorious steam locomotive animation plays when you accidentally type sl
- 🎭 Multiple modes including accident (people cry for help!), flying, and different train models
- 📦 Pipe output into it to print messages on rolling train cars
- 🌐 Embeddable web version for sharing the chaos on your own pages
