nightride-cli

Nightride FM - the synthwaviest radio now inside your terminal, hackerman!!

This client establishes a direct uplink to Nightride FM via global packet infrastructure (internet). Audio is streamed, decoded locally and sent directly to your machine's audio output using low-level access through Go's sound libraries. Includes youtube to ascii for some neat visuals.

Built for the command line frontier.

Features:

• All radio stations directly accessible from the terminal

• Support for Discord Rich Presence

• Press Y to watch the youtube livestreams in ASCII, colored and monochromatic

• Direct IRC access to Rekt Network via ZUSE IRC

• Press D to run DOOM The project includes a .wad freeware version of DOOM. Wad files are the things people use to run DOOM on toasters. WAD, according to the Doom Bible, is an acrostic for "Where's All the Data?". Read more on https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/WAD. Shout out to the GORE engine, which I fixed for Windows compatibility. If someone asks if it runs doom, you just answer "hell yeah". Controls: Enter opens the game, arrows move, comma to shoot, space opens doors. Pressing D again quits doom.

chmod +x ~/.nightride/nightride
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.nightride:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc
