🎄 Merry Chrimbus!
A colourful Chrimbus tree right in your very own CMD
Overview
I wrote this yesterday in C#, then decided to try and rewrite it in C.
The tree is generated from a constant height variable and coloured lights are added that flash with colours outside of Windows' cmd colour palette (Pink, orange, every coloured light is outside of the palette).
Compiling
This is a Windows only program.
It can be compiled very simply with MingW GCC like so: gcc -o tree.exe tree.c -m32 -s
As well as TCC with tcc -o tree.exe tree.c providing you add the following lines to tcc\lib\kernel32.def:
GetConsoleScreenBufferInfoEx
SetConsoleScreenBufferInfoEx
Compressing the TCC result with UPX results in a 3.50 KB executable I assume is aligned by 512 B.
